In 2002 a total ban on asbestos was announced in Japan, following many years of sporadic and variably effective measures intended to control its use in that country. A major factor in instigating the ban was public awareness raised by the publicizing of the experience of asbestos-exposed workers in the U.S.

Environmental Research, 1970
Abstract Seven selected cases with asbestos in the lungs and a mesothelioma in the pleura or peritoneum were studied intensively using routine methods, polarized light, incineration technique, and acid digestion. We found that asbestos bodies, fragments, particles, and dust could be found in hilar and mediastinal nodes regularly.

AbstractTo the Editor:For the past several years, I have served as an expert witness in areas related to state‐of‐the‐art and liability primarily at the request of plaintiff lawyers. However, I have usually reviewed the medical records and X‐rays of workers in the cases in which I have testified. Over the past two years, I have noted that many of these

Quantitative relationship of fecal asbestos to asbestos exposure
Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, 1976A method is descirbed for isolating chrysotile fibers from feces and counting them with an electron microscope. The detection limit was 150,000 fibers per gram feces; average recovery was 85.5%. When the method was used to check the asbestos in feces of people subjected to industrial exposure vs. controls, the means were significantly different (p less

Type of Asbestos and Respiratory Cancer in the Asbestos Industry
Archives of Environmental Health: An International Journal, 1973Differences in the physical properties and chemical composition of the various types of asbestos indicate that there should be differences in their carcinogenic potentials. This study of the mortality experience of 1,348 retirees from the asbestos industry shows that, after adjustment for cumulative dust exposure, men exposed only to chrysotile ...

The term asbestos collectively refers to a group of naturally occurring fibrous minerals which have been exploited in numerous commercial and industrial settings and applications dating to antiquity. Its myriad uses as a "miracle mineral" owe to its remarkable properties of extreme resistance to thermal and chemical breakdown, tensile strength, and ...

Readers of the medical literature doubtless find the asbestos-associated diseases a complex topic. The two reports on this subject in a recent issue ofThe Journaldoubtless contribute to the confusion expressed by many physicians. In the first, Dodson et al 1 record the results of assays of pulmonary tissue from three quite different but relatively ...
