NIOSH's September 1995 report to Congress under the Workers' Family Protection Act of 1992 (29 U.S.C. 671a) on hazardous substances that workers carry home on clothing, skin, tools and vehicles. It found incidents reported from 28 countries and 36 states. Asbestosis and mesothelioma were among the main harms, found in family members of workers who made insulation, asbestos cement, textiles, friction products and other asbestos goods, and of miners, shipyard workers, insulators and abatement workers. The full report also covers lead, beryllium, pesticides and other agents, contamination levels, prevention, home decontamination, federal and state laws, and agency and industry responses.
