The opinion of ECHA's Committee for Risk Assessment (RAC), adopted 10 June 2021 (rapporteurs Dick Heederik and Tiina Santonen). At the European Commission's request it reviews the 0.1 fibres per cm3 asbestos exposure limit in Directive 2009/148/EC. It calls asbestos a non-threshold carcinogen, so it sets no health-based limit. Instead it gives an exposure-risk relationship for lung cancer and mesothelioma combined, from 125 excess cancer cases per 100 000 exposed at 0.1 fibres/cm3 down to 1.2 at 0.001.
