As a result, the fact that A New American Favorite asbestos could produce lung disease, which had been forgotten since Strabo and Pliny first recorded it around the time of Christ, soon manifested itself again. , Modern knowledge of ashestosis dates from the year 1900, when a post mortem examination was performed by Dr. H. Montague Murray, a physician in London's Charing Cross Hospital, on the body of a thirtv-three-year-old man who had worked for fourteen years in an asbestos-textile factory. The patient, "found to have been suffering from severe pulmonary fibrosis, which is scarring of the lungs, had been the last survivor of a group of ten men who were working in the carding room of the factory in 1886, and since Dr. Murray found spicules of ashestos in the lung tissues at autopsy, he was able, to establish a presumptive connection, IMPORTED * 80 PROOF ALSO Y.S.O.P, BY AHPOINTMENt TO MIS MAJESTY KINS ALlMNDEfl I J AMS TO his MAJESTY BjjpMNe HETER M between the-man's occupation and the disease that killed him.

Moreover, techniques of dust sampling were primi tive and inaccurate, and dust levels varied so greatly--not only from fao tory to factory but from area to area within a given factory--that it would have been almost impossible to establish , criteria upon which to recommend a safe level of exposure. But as time went by, the generally lowered dusc| levels that did result from the regula tions of 1931 appeared to be slowing clown the attack rate of the disease, at least in Great Britain, and the life ex pectancy of the average asbestos-textile worker was further increased bv the advent of antibiotics, which drastically reduced the death rate from infectious pulmonary diseases that often had to be: feared as a complication of asbestosis. Tiie totally unforeseeable consequence of all this was that asbestos workers, in stead of dying of Asbcstnsis, began living long enough to develop ashestos-induccd cancer. The first published suggestion of an association between' asbestosis and ma lignant diwasu was made in 1935 by Dr. Kenneth M. Lynch, professor of pathology at the Medical College of South Carolina, who described the case of a fifty-scven-ycar-old asbestos weaver who died of nsbvstnsis and in whose lungs cancer was also found. Because the regulations of 1931 required Brit ish coroners to conduct autopsies on men who bad been suspended from work with asbestos on account of pul monary disability or when their length of service rendered it likely chat their occupation was a contributory cause, of death, pathologists in Britain were able to investigate the suggested link between ashestosis and lung cancer much more easily than their counter parts in tlie United States, where few states had workmen's Compensation laws covering dust diseases, and where there were no specific regulations re quiring post-mortem cxafnin'atftuis of asbestos workers. The British investi.gatinns were not made the subject of official comment until 194-9, however, when Dr. Merewetber, who was dien Lhicf Inspector of Factories, published a review of data that had been accum ulated from 1924 to 1946, which re vealed that lung cancer was present in thirty-one out of two hundred and thirty-five denrhs that were caused bv ashestosis or m winch asheStnsis was the mug that made mugs famous v -, > -'5T vv-,PJ -1 Spffi ___, .* 'nn 1 Created by Bennington Potters in 1957, the trigger mug is now recognized " as a design classic throughout the world, .

This was an inci dence of slightly more than thirteen per cent, and Mercwether found it highly significant, for lung cancer, ac cording to its incidence m the general population, should only have been pres ent in approximately one per cent of the cases. At the time, no formal claim of an association between the two diseases was made, hut cl un'ni; the next few years an increasing amount nf evidence began to establish one. Then, in 1955, Dr. Richard S. Doll, director of the Statistical Research Unit of the British Medical Research Council, completed a stud}' of a hundred and thirteen con secutive autopsies of men with more rhan twenty years of exposure in a large asbestos-textile factory, which showed that the extent to which thev had risked lung cancer over the whole period was eleven times as great ns that of men in the general population of England and Wales. From then on, many doctors were convinced that a causal relationship between asbestos exposure and Uuig cancer had been demonstrated, although almost no part of tiie vast asbestos industry cither acknowledged rite relationship or found it advisable to aid the independent re searchers who were investigating it. AT this point, many epidemiologists J- * had concluded chat the hazards to human health presented hv asbestos were limited to tile relatively sma group of heavily exposed workers en gaged in making asbestos textiles. The trouble was that very few-studies had been made of the tens of thousands of workers engaged in other branches of the industry, which was..thcn expand ing at an enormous rate all over the world, so that no one really had any way of knowing whether there was any danger from moderate or light occupational exposure--or, for that matter, from indirect, noil-occupational exposure. Such studies were under way in a number of countries, however, and when tile results began to appear, in the late fifties, it became evident that the hazard posed to-man bv asbestos had once again been underestimated. The most dramatic development was the discovery of an association between exposure to asbestos and mesothelioma, an almost always malignant tumor of the pleura, which is the dedicate mem brane that encases the lungs, or of the peritoneum, a similar membrane that linos the abdominal cavity. Previously, mesothelioma had been so rare that it was considered a pathological, curiosity. It was found in only one out of Some stores that carry clothing with this label new YORK, rl.Y.

Only twelve of tiie cases proved to have had industrial exposure to asbestos,, but all the rest came from the arid, windswept region of the Cape asbestos : fields, where they could easily have sus tained exposure simply by living in the vicinity of asbestos mills and dumps. A particularly striking ease was that of a woman who was born in a town on the asbestos fields, left the region at the age of five, and died of a pleural mesothe lioma at the age of fifty-seven.

(In some areas of Sooth Africa, occupational exposure to asbestos dust was so heavy, however, that fi brosis of the longs was almost certain- !v killing people before cancer could develop. According to Dr. G- W. H. SchcpcrH, n native of South Africa who is now director of the Bureau of Lab oratories in the Department of Health' in Washington, D.C., conditions of industrial hygiene in the asbestos mines and Factories were often "deplorable." In 1949, when Schcpt-rs was sent into the northeastern Transvaal to make :lie first official radiological ami clinical ..iirvev of the asbestos industry for the Smith African government, he found barefoot Bantu children spending their davs inside large jute shipping bags,' where they were forced by overseers armed with whips to trample down fluffy nmosite asbestos as it came cas cading over their heads into the bags.

Tn i960, the year that Wagner pub lished the first of his disturbing reports ihont mesothelioma, there were two additional developments that caused grave concern among scientists investi gating the asbestos problem.

The other development took place back in South Africa, where Dr, J, G, Thomson,, professor of pa thology at tiie Medical School of the University of Cape Town, was exam ining lung-fluid smears from five hun dred consecutive autopsies to determine the extent to which the ordinary urban dweller was exposed to the inhalation of asbestos; lie found asbestos bodies in twenty-five per cent of the total. Thomson's discovery astonished the medical world, for up until that time no one suspected that asbestos bodies might be present in the lungs of people Thomson's observations were con firmed by studies made in Miami, in London, and in Belfast, while in Pitts-, burgh asbestos bodies were found in the lungs of forty-six of a hundred con secutive autopsies at Presbytcnan-Uni- 3 versity Hospital. And Wagner's find- j| ings were corroborated by investiga tions that associated mesothelioma with exposure to asbestos in half a dozen cities in Europe and die United States. Perhaps the most striking confirmation of Wagner's data came from London, where Dr. Muriel L. Ncwhouse and Dr. Hilda Thompson, of the Depart- .

As might be expected, the disclosures made by Wagner, Kivtlunto, and Thomson provided a powerful stimulus for further investigation of the prob-. lem of asbestos exposure.

Further corroboration of Wagner's findings came from southeastern Penn sylvania, where Dr. Jan Lichen, then 1 head of the Division of Occupational Health at the State Department of Health, in Harrisburg, investigated the backgrounds of forty-two people who had died of mesothelioma between 195b and 1963. Of the forty-two pa tients, ten proved to have had definite, occupational exposure to asbestos, three were relatives of asbestos workers, eight either lived or were employed in the viciniry of an asbestos factory, and ten MAY-13-2003 13=50 WILLIAMS BAILEY LAW FIRM 7136436226 P.14/29 others were discovered to have hadlf least some minor exposure to the miiL eraL The ten people with mitifjj exposure included a &elf-empl0y maker of Swiss cheese who used a fjySj hundred-gallon boiler covered asbestos insulation that flaked 0f?

At the time, Dr. Selikoff was chiefly interested in rishestosis because, as h has explained, "I was still unconvinced of the relationship between asbestos anil lung cancer. There wasn't much data, and what there was scarcely seemed to indicate that It would prow to be much of a problem," As tilings turned out, he changed his mind.

Dr. Sdikoff and Dr. Hammond, found special significance in the fact that all twenty-eight bronchogenic carcinomas occurred among asbestos workers who smoked cigarettes regu larly. None were found among eighty- seven men who never smoked ciga rettes, Dr. Sdikoff and Dr. Hammond have reservations about these data, which suggest that asbestos workers who smoke cigarettes are ninety times more likely to die of lung cancer than men who neither work- with asbestos nor smoke, because they are based upon the eNpei'ience of a relatively small number of people. They do con clude from it, however, that an im portant cn-cnrcinogenic effect exists be tween asbestos exposure and cigarette smoking, and in a recent article pub lished in the Jtmnutl of the Ammctm Mailed Asiaetation they recommend "that asbestos exposure be minimized, that, asbestos workers who do not smoke should never start, and that those now smoking should stop immediately.''

He expresses certainty ahout the effects of asbestos exposure only when he has epidemiological proof. He knows, for example, that one- out of every five asbestos-insulation work ers who die in the New York-New Jersey metropolitan area dies of lung cancer, and that almost half of the three hundred and sixtl'-dglit deaths he has recorded among these mem in the past twenty-five years have been caused by cancer of one type or another.

With the aid of a grant from the United States Public Health Service, Dr. Sclikoff and his associates are cur rently conducting an investigation that covers an even wider range, by study ing samples of lung tissue from three thousand consecutive autopsies that have been performed at three different hospitals in New York City and trac ing the work histories of each of the dead people. So far, they have examined two thousand lung Samples, and have found asbestos bodies in nearly half of them.

Dr. SelikofF went on to say that he understands full well that asbestos is an extremely valuable material, and that it -has become essential in modern industrial society, "We epidemiologists recognize and study its dangers so that we may devise ways of minimizing or avoiding them," lie said. "Improve ments in the practice of industrial hy giene are needed to eliminate unneces sary exposure among asbestos workers and men in other building trades, and awareness of the potential risks of en vironmental contamination is needed until our studies indicate just how far out into the general population the problem extends. All I can Say is that the public should be made aware of the problem, and that no one, particularly children and young people, should he unduly exposed. After all, today's chil dren are almost certainly inhaling more asbestos chan their parents did, and we now know that if a person inhales sig nificant amounts of asbestos dust, lie carries a burden that will provide a la tent potential for the development of cancer for the rest of his life.
