An investigation of the potential biohazards associated with asbestos-substitute casting ring liners
…The wet ceramic and asbestos liners released similar, smaller numbers. In general, the most fibers were collected during placement. Electron microscope images showed ceramic fibers about 50 to 80 micrometers long and 1 to 1.5…

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.

Mechanisms of macrophage accumulation in the lungs of asbestos-exposed subjects
…more local multiplication contribute. Comparisons among subgroups of workers found no statistically significant differences in these markers, but the authors noted too few had abnormal lung function for general conclusions comparing those with and without asbestosis.

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…

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.

New marker for mesothelioma: an immunoperoxidase study
…to most epithelial tumour tissues. It also stained reactive and malignant mesothelial cells in fluid smears. The authors noted that the antibody marks mesothelial cells in general, not only mesothelioma cells. They concluded it may help…

Smoking, coal, asbestos, and the lungs
…asbestos levels and smoking would cut lung cancer in workers, that cutting smoking would have more effect in asbestos-exposed workers than in the general population, and that banning tobacco advertising would be a sensible next…

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…

Thoracic surgical problems in asbestos-related disorders
…received chemotherapy survived an average of 12.4 months. The authors judged their surgical experience with 23 lung cancer patients no different from lung cancer in general. They concluded that nearly all plaque operations could have…

The in vitro activities of a highly carcinogenic mineral fibre--potassium octatitanate
…with present techniques, genotoxicity tests cannot rank mineral fibres by carcinogenicity, and that general cytotoxic activity remains the best predictor. They noted that the weak, poorly dose-related transformation response may indicate activity near the assay…

Microwave polymerisation of epoxy resin: rapid processing technique in ultrastructural pathology
…than 2mm across polymerised slightly unevenly. A lymphoma sample given both microwave fixation and polymerisation was of very acceptable quality. The authors concluded that microwave polymerisation is practicable, although its general usefulness remained to be established.

Extrapolation from occupational studies: a substitute for environmental epidemiology
Extrapolation from occupational data to general environmental exposures gives some interesting results, and these results might be useful in our decision-making process. These results could never be observed by environmental epidemiology and this method probably…

Asbestos and other ferruginous bodies: their formation and clinical significance
…with asbestos. At the highest levels of exposure, numbers of asbestos bodies correlate in a general way with the presence of asbestosis, although no precise value has been determined above which asbestosis is always found. In…
