| Abstract | In mid-September, three additional papers were brought to the attention of the WATCH chair by a member as likely to be relevant to the asbestos discussion. The papers provide updated information about two of the cohorts included in the H&D analysis and one additional cohort. All these cohorts involved predominantly chrysotile exposure. This assessment made by HSE (Andy Darnton) provides a short discussion about each of the papers, plus some further details about the additional cohort. Copies of each of the papers are also attached. It then presents updated summary estimates for mesothelioma risk per unit of cumulative exposure and the results of refitting the H&D-type models for pleural mesothelioma. |
