MORTALITY FROM OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE TO RELATIVELY PURE CHRYSOTILE: A 39-YEAR STUDY
Occupational exposure to relatively pure chrysotile within permissible levels was not associated with a significant increase in lung cancer or with mesothelioma. Decreased overall mortality of workers indicates a healthy worker effect, which – together with the relatively small cohort size – could have prevented small risks to e detected.

Special Report: Asbestos-Cement Pipe
Chrysotile Asbestos-Cement (a/c) pipe has been used in water distribution systems around the world for more than 70 years. More than 2.5 million kilometres of a/c pipe are in use world wide. As this Special Report demonstrates, a/c pipe is cost effective, energy efficient, durable and safe.
Understanding Mesothelioma
This Special Report takes a look at some of the key studies conducted over the last 30 years and reviews the evidence relating to the nature of mesothelioma risks, their association with exposure to the different asbestos fibres, as well as findings that a significant percentage of cases appear to be unrelated to asbestos exposure.
