Apart from the analysis of any dust count surveys which have been done in the factory area concerned, I should be interested in any medical evidence - e.g. the absence of disablement among men who have been exposed only to these processes. There is, I think, outside evidence of at least one case of mesothelioma in a man O whose only exposure consisted of employment for some months t continuously on trimming o r cutting of asbestos-cement sh e ets/b u t----- - ^ of course one or two associations of this kind are not convincing in themselves.
