Careful analysis of lung and mesothelial tissues must be done to determine the types of asbestos fibers associated with the mesothelioma One interesting study is called, Asbestos Fibers Contributing to the Induction of Human Malignant Mesothelioma by Yasunosuke Suzuki, Steven R. Yuen - Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences - Volume 982, Carcinogenesis Bioassays and Protecting Public Health: Commemorating The Lifework Of Cesare Maltoni And Colleagues pages 160176, December 2002. Here is an excerpt: Abstract: To elucidate the features of the asbestos fibers contributing to the induction of human malignant mesothelioma, we used high-resolution analytical electron microscopy to determine the type, number, and dimensions of asbestos fibers in lung and mesothelial tissues in 168 cases of mesothelioma. Results: 1. Asbestos fibers were present in almost all of the lung and mesothelial tissues from the mesothelioma cases. 2. The most common types of asbestos fibers in lung were either an admixture of chrysotile with amphiboles, amphibole alone, and occasionally chrysotile alone. In mesothelial tissues, most asbestos fibers were chrysotile. 3. In lung, amosite fibers were greatest in...more

Exposure to asbestos in the workplace is the most common cause of Mesothelioma disease. Continued research is necessary if we are ever to find a cure. One interesting study is called, Exposure to Asbestos and Human Disease. By Becklake, MR - New England Journal of Medicine Vol. 306, no. 24, pp. 1480-1482. 1982. Here is an excerpt: During the past two decades, ill health resulting from exposure to asbestos has been the subject of extensive observation and research -- probably more intensive than research on any other environmental agent. In the most direct target organ, the lung, in its pleural coverings, there is a wide spectrum of response after exposure; not only acute and chronic inflammatory diseases but also cancer of these organs may occur. Research has been stimulated by the belief that the more complete our understanding of the mechanisms of pathogenesis, the better will be the ability to control the continued use of this mineral in today's complex technologic world.Another interesting study is called, Analysis of amphibole asbestos in chrysotile and other minerals. By Addison, J, Davies, LST - Annals of Occupational Hygiene [ANN. OCCUP. HYG.]. Vol. 34, no. 2, pp....more
