A FEDERAL INQUIRY CN POSSIBLE INCIDENCE OF ASBESTOS IN CANCER
Toronto - A f-ideral inquiry may let us know if asbestos produced '3
in Canada can cause cancer.
-
In its journal the Canadian Medical Association dsclareii^
that, after the issuing of reports that some asbestos workers had
died of cancer in other countries, a survey by the Canadian:Govern^
went was in the preparatory stage. It is emphasized, however,
that in these countries the asbestos extracted from the mines iav\|r
different from that produced in Canada.
' >.
-jt Moreover, some 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.
