Quantitative analysis of asbestos burden in women with mesothelioma
Abstract
Background: Lung tissue from 15 women who died from mesothelioma was evaluated for tissue burden of ferruginous bodies and uncoated asbestos fibers. The group contained individuals who had occupational exposure to asbestos and others had family members whose work history included vocations where contact with asbestos containing materials occurred. Methods: Tissue samples from tumor free lung were digested and filtered and then investigated for ferruginous bodies by light microscopy and asbestos and non‐asbestos fibers by analytical transmission electron microscopy (ATEM). Size and type of fibers were also analyzed. Results: Asbestos bodies were found in 13 of the 15 samples and asbestos fibers were found in all cases. The most commonly found uncoated asbestos fiber in these individuals was amosite whereas tremolite was the second most commonly found form. The asbestos fiber burden in these females was often of mixed types. Conclusions: The asbestos body and fiber burden in these cases show variation in tissue burden. Some cases in this study had appreciable burden, which was attributed to secondhand exposure from occupationally exposed family members. Mesothelioma can occur also in individuals with comparatively low tissue burdens of asbestos. Am. J. Ind. Med. 43: 188–195, 2003. © 2003 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

In the citing paper
“Of the four domestically exposed cases evaluated in their study, Dodson et al. [94] found ferruginous bodies in lung tissue of two of the four women, uncoated commercial amphibole asbestos fibers in another woman, uncoated non-commercial amphibole asbestos fibers in a third woman, and chrysotile fibers in another.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
