Asbestos content of omentum and mesentery in nonoccupationally exposed individuals
…electron microscopy for defining the asbestos burden in digested lung, omentum, and mesentery tissues from individuals considered as representing the general population in East Texas. The findings, when compared with previous data from occupationally exposed individuals…

Malignant mesothelioma from neighborhood exposure to anthophyllite asbestos
…leu M1 antigen. Anthophyllite fibers were > 5 microm in length in lung tissue compared to 3 microm from a general population study. Anthophyllite asbestos has been associated with neighborhood environmental exposure and pleural plaques; we…

Analysis of asbestos concentration in 20 cases of pseudomesotheliomatous lung cancer
…at least one sample above 20 per gram of wet tissue, while six were within the 0 to 20 per gram the authors expected in the general population. Uncoated asbestos was found in all 20 cases…

Mesothelioma in an individual following exposure to crocidolite-containing gaskets as a teenager
…per gram of deparaffinized (wax-removed) wet tissue. Two of the authors' laboratories use 20 or fewer per gram of wet tissue as the general-population level. Electron microscopy at 15,000 times magnification detected only…

Quantitative analysis of asbestos burden in a series of individuals with lung cancer and a history of exposure to asbestos
…Seventeen of the 20 cases were positive for ferruginous bodies (which were morphologically consistent with asbestos bodies). Five of these were found to have concentrations within the range used in our laboratory for the general population (

A technical comparison of evaluating asbestos concentration by phase-contrast microscopy (PCM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and analytical transmission electron microscopy (ATEM) as illustrated from data generated from a case report
…333 asbestos fibers per gram of deparaffinized wet tissue. Both laboratories found asbestos bodies above the level the authors cite as the upper limit expected in the general population. The authors calculated that 97% of the…

Familial mesothelioma: a report of two families
…asbestos bodies per gram of wet lung tissue. This was well within the lower limits seen in the general urban population with no occupational history of asbestos exposure. The authors concluded that genetic factors may be…

Analysis of asbestos fiber burden in lung tissue from mesothelioma patients
…those without, but the authors found the ranges too wide to predict asbestosis from fiber counts. The authors concluded that most patients had a confirmed asbestos burden above general population levels, often of mixed types. They…
