An Evaluation of Mortality Rates and Their Determinants in a Cohort of Former Asbestos Miners in South Africa. [PDF]
Am J Ind MedABSTRACT Background A causal association between occupational asbestos exposure and lung disease, including pneumoconiosis and mesothelioma, is well established. Elevated mortality among former asbestos miners is expected. However, large‐scale South African studies examining all‐cause mortality in this population are lacking.

Must countries shoulder the burden of mesothelioma to ban asbestos? A global assessment
BMJ Global Health, 2022 Introduction Mesothelioma is a key asbestos-related disease (ARD) but can be difficult to diagnose. Countries presumably ban asbestos to reduce future ARD burdens, but it is unknown if countries ban asbestos as a consequence of ARD burdens.

Environmental Health Perspectives, 1974 Talc deposits include asbestos minerals such as chrysotile and amphiboles that may be carried over into consumer products. Optical microscopy and x-ray diffraction analyses may not reveal their presence. Examples are given of electron microscopy procedures that permit detection and measurement.

Cell-free microRNAs: potential biomarkers in need of standardized reporting
Frontiers in Genetics, 2013 MicroRNAs are abundantly present and surprisingly stable in multiple biological fluids. These findings have been followed by numerous of reports revealing the clinical potential of using microRNA levels in body fluids as a biomarker of disease. Despite a

MicroRNA gene expression signatures in long-surviving malignant pleural mesothelioma patients
Genomics Data, 2016 Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a tumor originating in the mesothelium, the membrane lining the thoracic cavities, and is induced by exposure to asbestos. Australia suffers one of the world's highest rates of MPM and the incidence is yet to peak.
