Abstract

All forms of asbestos are classed as known human carcinogens.1 More than 80% of pleural mesothelioma cases in men are due to asbestos exposure.2 Although the threat of asbestos is well-established in occupational settings, less is known about the risk to residents of homes fitted with asbestos insulation, in particular of the loose fill variety.
