  In plain English

  This British population-based study compared the amount of asbestos in the lungs of 133 people with pleural mesothelioma with that of 262 people who had surgery for lung cancer, who served as the comparison group. Patients were interviewed about their work histories. Asbestos fibres longer than 5 micrometres were counted by electron microscopy. Most fibres found were amosite (75%) or crocidolite (18%). Chrysotile made up 1.9%. Among men, the odds of mesothelioma rose with lung burden. In the highest group (1.0 million fibres per dry gram of lung or more), the odds ratio was 35.00 (95% CI 7.22 to 169.6) compared with the lowest group. The authors estimated lifetime mesothelioma risk at about 0.020% per 1000 asbestos fibres per gram of dry lung. All 27 male mesothelioma patients with burdens above 0.5 million fibres per gram had worked in high-risk jobs. Carpenters had the highest amosite levels. Burdens in women were much lower. The authors concluded that amosite contributed heavily to UK mesothelioma and that non-occupational exposure contributed substantially, particularly in women. There were too few women to analyse them separately.

  In plain English

  This laboratory methods study looked at how the choice of microscope lens affects counts of asbestos fibers under phase-contrast microscopy, the standard method for measuring airborne asbestos. It did not study health effects. Nine laboratories counted fibers on 15 proficiency-testing reference slides (ten chrysotile, five amosite). All of them used the same circulated Nikon microscope, counting once with a standard objective lens (DLL, numerical aperture 0.75) and once with a 'dark-medium' (DM) lens (numerical aperture 0.95). Six of the labs then counted six chrysotile slides made from older workplace air samples whose site is unknown. With the DM lens, counts on the chrysotile reference slides were significantly higher; the authors give 1.45 times for all data. Counts did not differ significantly between the two lenses for the amosite reference slides or the chrysotile field slides. Test slides and a diatom test plate showed no consistent differences between the lenses in visibility or resolution. The authors concluded that the greater contrast of the DM lens was the main cause of the higher counts. They concluded the DM lens could be allowed for routine counting, although published standard methods would need to be changed. They noted that the field results came from only six slides from a single site.

  In plain English

  This was a laboratory experiment on frog egg cells, not people. The researchers tested whether egg cells (oocytes) of the frog Xenopus laevis could serve as a model for studying how asbestos fibres interact with cell membranes. They exposed the cells to standard amosite or crocidolite asbestos samples, or to wollastonite, a non-asbestos mineral used for comparison. They measured the cells' electrical properties and examined them by electron microscopy. Compared with untreated cells, amosite and crocidolite changed the membranes' electrical properties. Membrane resistance fell from 0.95 megohms in 102 untreated cells to 0.79 in 68 amosite-treated cells and 0.66 in 84 crocidolite-treated cells. These changes appeared within 5 to 10 minutes. Wollastonite caused no significant changes in 7 cells. Crocidolite injected inside cells did not change their electrical membrane properties, at least in the short term. Treating crocidolite with iron-binding chemicals abolished its effects on the resting membrane properties. Under the microscope, researchers never saw cells engulfing fibres. The authors concluded these cells are a suitable model but said it is unclear how the changes relate to asbestos toxicity.
