Hard Cover. Condition: Fine-. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 549 pages, illustrated in color and b&w, with Errata Slip. "The time has come when a comprehensive review of disease caused by exposure to asbestos is not merely possible but badly needed. Asbestos, a naturally occurring fibrous material, is a startling example of a material at once uniquely useful, because of its physical and chemical properties, and at the same time potentially hazardous to man. Evidence linking inhalation of asbestos fiber to the development of a group of diseases is generating ever-growing concern. The demostrated risks involve the worker exposed in manufacture and use of asbestos, residents of neighborhoods of asbestos manufacturing plants, and the members of household of the asbestos worker. Asbestos exposure can resullt in both inflammatory and neoplastic disease, asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. This book affords a much-needed comprehensive compedium and presentation of accumulated information on asbestos and disease." FINE- HARDCOVER.
