A FEDERAL INQUIRY CN POSSIBLE INCIDENCE OF ASBESTOS IN CANCER
Toronto - A Federal inquiry may let us know if asbestos produced in Canada can cause cancer.
In its journal the Canadian Medical Association declare*^] that, after the issuing of reports that some asbestos workers had
vO, died of cancer in other countries, a survey by the Canadian:Govern^ * nent was in the preparatory stage. It is emphasized, however, that in these countries the asbestos extracted from the mines is ^ different from that produced in Canada.
Woreov6r, 3ome chemical and mineral products found in^^^
certain grades of asbestos fibre have to be taken into consideration
It will have to be proved that these chemical and mineral agents.;
are carcinogenic carriers and,whether or not, they are found in
Canadian asbestos.
-*
The journal, in an editorial and in the publication of a! special report on discoveries made by a group of international scientists, says that inhalation of asbestos dust is sometimes related to tumors existing in workers of foreign countries.

-V3S-
According to the magazine, recent rasMrchjtso^j^^?!^ medicine outlines that there not only exists a 8reat dahge^^^ bronchitic, carcinoma (cancer) Tor workers affected'*itfv PUl^jSS^
'lesionscaused by inhalation of asbestos dust,but, ,tnst OthPT^y types of tumors can develop in workman exposed to-^eabeatos, \ occasionally after a short time, but always, after &-longvtper^o
of time.
IN CANADA
The Journal of the Medical Association-observe! so far very little research work had been conducted-cone "CHRYSOTILE" , the type of asbestos found in Canada. Ouc^'CoO is the world leading producer of asbestos, supplying 42* world-wide consumption; 90^ of the ore come from the Province;
Quebec.
The article refers to experiences carried but in Souti^
Africa and Great Britain which indicate a certain relationship*
between asbestos and cancer. Mention is also made of a report .'"*i
submitted by a group of 40 scientists from Australia, Canada,
Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain and Italy, South Africa'-*
and.the United States.
