Health Risk Assessment for Asbestos and Other Fibrous Minerals (2024)

A 2024 John Wiley & Sons book edited by Andrey Korchevskiy, James Rasmuson and Eric Rasmuson of Chemistry & Industrial Hygiene, Inc., Lakewood, Colorado. Its 15 chapters are grouped under four risk-assessment steps: hazard identification, exposure assessment, dose-response assessment and risk characterization. They cover asbestos mineralogy, toxicology, pathology, exposure measurement and modeling, the Peto and Hodgson and Darnton dose-response models, and asbestos in soil and brakes. The editors write that equalizing regulatory limits for all asbestos types would sometimes under-protect workers.
