Worker produced health education material for the construction trades
…a popular NCI asbestos pamphlet with an evaluation questionnaire. Differences between the groups were evident in favor of the photonovel in readability, factual recall, general credibility, and attitudes toward future involvement in health and safety issues.

Lung cancer incidence in Canadian petroleum workers
…cancer incidence, although exposures to the single agents studied did not emerge as strong predictors of lung cancer incidence. Maintenance work may be a surrogate for general exposures to several agents (eg, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, metals…

Multicentric study on malignant pleural mesothelioma and non-occupational exposure to asbestos
…A dose-response pattern appeared with intensity of both sources of exposure. It is suggested that low-dose exposure to asbestos at home or in the general environment carries a measurable risk of malignant pleural mesothelioma.

Mortality studies of machining fluid exposure in the automobile industry. III: A case-control study of larynx cancer
…This is the first study, however, to distinguish straight mineral oils from other types of MF. Based on these findings, a general reduction in concentrations of straight mineral oil particulate in occupational environments would be prudent.

Asbestos and colon cancer: lack of association in a large case-control study
…frequency or duration of exposure increased. This study suggests not only that occupational exposure to asbestos is not a risk factor for colon cancer in the general population of Los Angeles, but also that observed associations…

Changes of mesothelin and osteopontin levels over time in formerly asbestos-exposed power industry workers
…deciding between intensive clinical work-up and continued surveillance appeared inadequate for the evaluated markers. While general conclusions cannot be drawn, we can say that the results of the two patients would be consistent with a…

Deciduoid mesothelioma: a report of 5 cases and literature review
…time of 8 months to 5 years. These findings suggest that the so-called deciduoid mesothelioma has some clinical and pathologic features that are dissimilar to mesothelioma in general. Whether it truly represents a pathogenetically distinct…

Pleural plaques and neoplasia in Finland
…The authors suggested that slight asbestos exposure causes plaques while heavy exposure leads to plaques and lung fibrosis. They considered the results in accord with the general view of the association between plaques and asbestos exposure.

The mechanism of pleural inflammation by long carbon nanotubes: interaction of long fibres with macrophages stimulates them to amplify pro-inflammatory responses in mesothelial cells
…adjacent pleural mesothelial cells. This mechanism for producing a pro-inflammatory environment in the pleural space exposed to long CNT has implications for the general understanding of fibre-related pleural disease and design of safe nanofibres.

The potential role of antioxidant vitamins in preventing cardiovascular diseases and cancers
…can provide conclusive answers. The apparent discrepancies between the results of four recently published trials may be explained by the type of population (general or high-risk subjects), the differing doses of supplementation (nutritional levels or…

Identifying the pulmonary hazard of high aspect ratio nanoparticles to enable their safety-by-design
…dose for fiber-type pathogenic effects. It is likely that HARNs will in general conform to the paradigm and such an understanding of the features that make fibers pathogenic should enable us to design safer HARNs.
