Biological effects of asbestos in relation to control of occupational exposure
IARC Scientific Publications
|January 1, 1980
Abstract:
The health risks of asbestos exposure and the adequacy of measures to limit the biological effects of exposure are discussed. The toxicological properties of asbestos are considered, and it is postulated that a nonthreshold approach could be used to establish an appropriate permissible level of occupational exposure to the substance.
