Environmental Health Criteria 203, a 1998 World Health Organization monograph from Geneva under the International Programme on Chemical Safety, reviewing chrysotile (white) asbestos: its properties, sources, exposure levels, uptake and clearance, animal and cell studies, effects on humans, environmental effects and health risks. Chapters were first drafted by experts including G. Gibbs and W.J. Nicholson, and a Task Group met in Geneva in July 1996. It says chrysotile has been associated with pneumoconiosis, lung cancer and mesothelioma in exposed workers, and that asbestos-cement accounts for about 85% of use.
