Mon Cher Bob
I am sending you what you have been requesting for the last two weeks bibliography of key studies in the field of asbestos The chart prepared by Dr. Pelnar lists the main mortality studies conducted in each category i.e. mining manufacturing etc. I
have also included an abstract of these studies that you must have received some time ago
If you have any questions do not hesitate to give me a call
Hoping to see you soon in Canada

Summary The number of fatal malignant mesotheliomas
60 61
was ascertained
all pathologists steady between
for the period 1960-70 by contacting in Canada The annual incidence was 1966 and 1970 at 1.4 per million population
63
Of 71 cases registered in 1958-70 and not previously
;
81
| reported 66 were pleural 24 peritoneal and the in both sites 45 of tumours were in
women The diagnosis of mesothelioma was approved
-
by the Canadian Mesothelioma Panel in 597. Sixty
investigated
cases were successfully
investigated epidemiologically
A history of definite or probable occupational asbestos exposure was found in 30 of male cases compared with
11 of controls but in none of the female cases of
HIT
controls However among cases four women and one man had had domestic exposure to dusty clothing
of an asbestos worker Most of the excess occupational
exposure was in the manufacture of asbestos products or insulation and little in mining or milling No case
other than those
occupationally or domestically
had lived within 20 miles of asbestos mines or mills

The relation between exposure to asbestos and the oc
' currence of neoplasia is reviewed and it is concluded
. 44 that the increasing use of asbestos will result in an in-
45
creasing incidence of tumours It is known that inhala-

Objects similar to asbestos bodies were found in their

asbestos bodies containing an iron oxide core and it

proving that they were not psendo but normal asbestos
bodies The simultaneous exposure to low concentrati-
