A 1984 National Research Council report by the Committee on Nonoccupational Health Risks of Asbestiform Fibers, chaired by Lester Breslow, under an EPA contract. It reviews exposure, health effects and risk for asbestos, attapulgite, man-made mineral fibers, carbon fibers and erionite. The committee estimated lifetime mesothelioma risk from breathing asbestos at 0.0004 fibers/cm3 for 73 years at about nine in a million (range 0 to 350). A cover letter notes an earlier version was withdrawn over an arithmetic error. The copy bears a University of South Carolina library stamp.
