Asbestos related diseases from environmental exposure to crocidolite in Da-yao, China. I. Review of exposure and epidemiological data.
TLDR
The observation of numerous mesothelioma cases at Da-yao was a unique finding, due mainly to their lifetime exposure to crocidolite asbestos, and the increased awareness and changes in diagnosis over time may also contribute to the increase.Citations

Mesothelioma epidemiology, carcinogenesis, and pathogenesis
TL;DR: The incidence of mesothelioma in the US (and in some European countries) should have started to decline before or around the year 2000, and sharply decline thereafter, but there are no data available yet to support this optimistic hypothesis.

TL;DR: The results suggested that the well-dispersed amorphous nanosilica of particle size 70 nm (nSP70) penetrated the skin barrier and caused systemic exposure in mouse, and induced mutagenic activity in vitro, indicated that further studies of relation between physicochemical properties and biological responses are needed for the development and the safer form of NMs.

Applying Definitions of “Asbestos” to Environmental and “Low-Dose” Exposure Levels and Health Effects, Particularly Malignant Mesothelioma
TL;DR: This document reviews the current regulatory and mineralogical definitions of asbestos and how variability in these definitions has led to difficulties in the discussion and comparison of both experimental laboratory and human epidemiological studies for asbestos.

Mortality from lung cancer in asbestos workers.
TL;DR: The majority of workers (cited by Hueper, 1952) consider that a causal relationship between asbestosis and lung cancer is either proved or is highly probable and the reality of the relation ship was agreed at the recent International Sym posium on the Endemiology of Lung Cancer.
