in moderately high incidences of mesotheliomas in the range of 12-18 %
.
Thus carcinogenicity of asbestos and fibrous glass seems primarily related
to the structural shape of these materials rather than to physicochemical
propertiesp.roperties. Nat Cancer Inst 48 797-821 1972
MESOTHELIOMAS of the pleura and antecedent fibrous plaques comparable to those resulting from asbestos exposure in man can be induced readily in the and hamster by direct intrapleural application of asbestos 7-8 Such
attest to the caremugemcity of wa experiments bestos and offer an excellent means of investigating those carcinogenic mechanismis involved

Three years ago we began experiments based on initial investigations suggesting that quanti-
tauve data could be obtained if treated rats were
observed for 2 years 7 Asbestos on gelatin
