Abstract:
We report five cases of pleural mesothelioma in housewives, that are attributed to inhalative household-contact with asbestos. An occupational history of asbestos exposure could not be revealed. A causal relationship between the fatal disease and the inhalative house-hold-contact with asbestos was established based on the cleaning of asbestos contaminated work-clothes of the husbands.
