Source: Modified from estimates in Bianchi C, Bianchi T. Malignant mesothelioma: global incidence and relationship with asbestos. Ind Health 2007; 45: 379–87. approximately 250,000 deaths in men for the period 1995–2029. 97 suggested the total number of deaths is likely to be less than the estimate of 250,000. When asbestosrelated lung cancers are added to the mesothelioma burden at an estimated ratio of one or two lung cancers for every mesothelioma (see Chapter 6), the total number of asbestos-related cancer deaths is still likely to be in the vicinity of 500,000 or more.
For these materials, special procedures should be used. ”9 In this procedure, the particles of the sample material are dispersed on a microscope slide and 400 nonempty points on the slide randomly selected for examination. If, on one of the points, an asbestos fiber happens to line up with the center of the microscope eyepiece crosshairs, the fiber is counted. Percentage of asbestos is calculated on the basis of the number of positive “hits” during the count. 75%. 10,11 The item states: “For samples containing high amounts of asbestos, the stratified point-count technique invokes labor-saving semi-quantitative counting rules.
