NIOSH issued this revised Current Intelligence Bulletin in April 2011 to summarize what it knew about asbestos fibers and other elongate mineral particles (a category that also takes in needle-like crystals and cleavage fragments) and to set out a research agenda. It restates NIOSH's position that asbestos exposure causes cancer and asbestosis, reviews terminology, trends in asbestos use, exposure and disease, and workers' home contamination, and explains NIOSH's 0.1 fiber per cubic centimeter exposure limit.
