RE: Mesothelioma and lung tumors attributable to asbestos among petroleum workers. Am. J. Ind. Med. 2000. 37:275–282

Abstract

Abstract In a recent Journal article, Dr. Gennaro et al.[2000] stated that 96‐100% of the mesotheliomas and 42‐49% of the lung cancers among maintenance workers in the petroleum industry were attributable to asbestos exposure. Their observation was based on two relatively small studies: one was a cohort study of refinery workers from Italy and the other a population‐based case‐control study from Canada.
