A one-page outline of "Project No. 5," an epidemiological study of all past and present workers at the Balangero chrysotile mine in Italy and of a group of insulation workers from the shipyards of the Port of Genoa and the La Spezia Arsenal, proposed by Dr. Enrico C. Vigliani of the Clinica del Lavoro in Milan at a cost of $85,000. It set out three questions: whether inhaling asbestos fibers is related to lung cancer or to mesothelioma of the pleura or peritoneum; whether people exposed to very low levels, such as villagers near asbestos mines, show more calcified pleural plaques; and whether the different types of asbestos behave the same way.
