ASBESTOS REPORT
Asbestos report on lung disease surveillance

Read the report from the CDC regarding the lung diseases associated with exposure to asbestos and other carcinogens.

In this report, every reasonable attempt has been made with the available resources to present comprehensive data on health outcomes and exposures of relevance to work-related lung diseases. The data are drawn from the major existing databases.

However, other data may exist which would improve the completeness and reliability of the findings presented in this report. Readers who are aware of other data that should be considered for inclusion in future editions are encouraged to make their suggestions known (Please see Preface for contact information).

Statistics in many tables and figures in this report are based on small numbers. Readers are cautioned that these can be unstable. Hence, inferences should be drawn with care, and should take the numerical basis into account.

A decedent’s or survey respondent’s usual or current industry and occupation are not always indicative of the industry and occupation associated with the exposure responsible for that individual’s work-related disease. Readers are therefore cautioned not to make definitive causative inferences about industries and occupations based solely on the various mortality and morbidity tables presented in this report.
