When investigating the dust of decorative stones, it was noticed that some of them contain dust with a high content of nanosized particles having a tubular and needle-shaped crystalline structure. Despite the positive side of the nanotechnology development in the world, it also has a negative side in terms of the negative impact on the body and human health. The paper considers the relationship between the structure of charoite rock and the ingrowth of tubular particles into human lung epithelial cells and the effect of this ingrowth on the development and spread of respiratory diseases. It is based, on studies on the presentation of descriptions and systematics of tubular fragments in the structures of natural and synthetic silicates.
