Asbestos workers have been plagued with mesothelioma and other diseases for some time now, and continued vigilance is required if we are ever to solve this problem. One interesting study is called, "'B-Readers' and Asbestos Medical Surveillance" by Ducatman, Alan M. MS, MD; Yang, CDR William N. MD, MPH; Forman, Samuel A. MD, MPH - Journal of Occupational Medicine: August 1988 - Volume 30 - Issue 8. Here is an excerpt:...more

Selikoffa - a Environmental Sciences Laboratory of the Department of Community Medicine, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, City University of New York, New York, New York -...more
Asbestos is deadly when it is broken into small pieces and inhaled. One interesting study is called, "Asbestos and lung cancer in Glasgow and the west of Scotland." By H De Vos Irvine, D W Lamont, D J Hole, C R Gillis - BMJ 1993; 306 : 1503 doi: (Published 5 June 1993) – Here is an excerpt: "Abstract - OBJECTIVE--To quantify the relation between lung cancer and exposure to asbestos in men in west Scotland and to estimate the proportion of lung cancer which may be attributed to exposure to asbestos. DESIGN-An ecological correlation study of the incidence of lung cancer in men and past asbestos exposure. The unit of analysis was the postcode sector. Correction was made for past cigarette smoking, air pollution, and deprivation. SETTING--The region covered by the west of Scotland cancer registry, containing 2.72 million people and including Glasgow and the lower reaches of the River Clyde, where shipbuilding was once a major industry. SUBJECTS--All men diagnosed with lung cancer between 1975 and 1984 whose residence at the time of registration was within the west of Scotland. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE--The population attributable risk for asbestos related lung cancer....more

We must focus our energy on finding a cure to Mesothelioma. It is a terrible disease and takes the lives of thousands every year. One interesting study is called, "DNA single strand breaks induced by asbestos fibers in human pleural mesothelial cells in vitro" by T. Ollikainen, K. Linnainmaa, and V.L. Kinnula - Environmental and Molecular Mutagenesis - Volume 33, Issue 2, pages 153–160, 1999. Here is an excerpt: "Abstract - The mechanisms of the cellular effects and DNA damage caused by asbestos fibers in human mesothelial cells are not well understood. We exposed transformed human pleural mesothelial cells to 1–4 μg/cm2 crocidolite and to 10–100 ng/ml tumor necrosis factor alpha for up to 48 hr and studied the induction of DNA damage using the Comet assay. As a positive control, 100 μM H2O2 was used. The DNA single strand breaks were assessed as the mean tail moments and as distributions of the tail DNA in the cell. The Comet assay showed significant but reversible increases in the mean tail moments, but not in the distribution of Comet tails in the histograms in cells exposed to 1 μg/cm2 crocidolite for 6 hr. At higher concentrations of asbestos...more
