Richard Doll and Julian Peto's review of the health effects of asbestos, written at the request of Britain's Health and Safety Commission and published by HMSO in 1985. It covers benign pleural disease, asbestosis, lung cancer, mesothelioma and other cancers; which cancers asbestos causes; the difficulties of measuring exposure and response; dose-response relationships for asbestosis, mesothelioma and lung cancer; and the disease to be expected at the control limits then in force. It builds on the Acheson and Gardner reviews and Peto's own study of a Rochdale asbestos textile factory. Crown copyright: catalogue record only.
