Asbestos workers are unintentional victims of industrial progress. They are at risk of pulmonary fibrosis, pleural calcification, mesotheliomas and lung cancer. Asbestos exposure is now widespread, involving not only air but also drinking water, wine and beer.1 Fibers have been found in the lungs of people without industrial asbestos exposure. Whatever

Atmospheric Environment (1967), 1980
Abstract Asbestos is a widespread industrial product. Its unique properties lead to many uses. The risks to health resulting from the processing and handling of different varieties of asbestos are discussed; the different methods for evaluating the effects of pollution of air and water on biological tissues are reviewed; and their quality is ...

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 ...

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

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

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 ...
