Assessment of the epidemiological data relating lung cancer to air pollution
…cancer likely greater than zero but unlikely to exceed 2% of all lung cancers, or 5 per 100,000 cases in urban males. The author concluded there was no reason to repeat such general-population studies.

Clinical observations following asbestos exposure
…of mesothelioma in workers who did not handle asbestos directly and in household contacts. The author concluded that further investigation is needed to define the risk from long-term, low-level exposure in the general population.

Contribution of environmental fibers to respiratory cancer
…large. Using a KL of 0.01, the authors estimated fewer than 100 lung cancers and 100 mesotheliomas per year in the general population from past ambient exposures. They noted great uncertainty in these estimates. They…

Health implications of environmental exposure to asbestos
…about 2 per million per annum and that--as at least some mesothelioma cases in females are directly or indirectly attributable to occupational exposure--there is little room left for any contribution from the general environment…

Impact of effects of acid precipitation on toxicity of metals
…concern to selected population groups. Human exposures to lead reach levels that are near those associated with adverse health effects in certain sensitive segments of the general population in several countries. The possibility exists that increased…

Effects of asbestos on the random migration of rabbit alveolar macrophages
…indicates that fibers can be toxic for AM through extracellular membrane contact. In general the results from the viability studies paralleled the migration inhibition observations. None of the asbestos preparations induced a burst in the hexose…
