“…According to our method of analysis (4,5), the persons who had not been occupationally exposed had normally less than one to two million fi:bers per gram of dried tissue. As expected, ,the insulation workers and the workers in the asbestos cement industry had the lhighest exposures.…”

“…In the former case small pieces were cut and dried overnight; in the latter this procedure was followed after a melting/deparaffinization step. The dried pieces were weighed and ashed following procedures described previously (10). On the basis of previous documentation, scanning electron microscopy was chosen for determining total fiber concentrations.…”

Occupational asbestos exposure, lung-fiber concentration and latency time in malignant mesothelioma. Scand J Work Environ Health 10 (1984) 293-298. Mineral fiber concentration in lung tissue was analyled by scanning electron microscopy in 73 males with malignant mesothelioma and in 36 referents who died of cardio-or cerebrovascular diseases. The investigation showed apparent differences in the median lung-fiber concentration between occupational groups with different levels of asbestos exposure, as judged from their occupational history. Thus the mineral fiber content in human lung tissue provides a useful indicator of cumulative asbestos exposure. There was also a statistically significant difference between the median lung-fiber concentration among mesothelioma cases with unlikely or unknown occupational asbestos exposure and the reference group. The latency times in 42 of the cases with definite or probable occupational asbestos exposure showed a log-normal distribution with a median of 37 years and a range of 19-68 years. No statistically significant correlation was found between the logarithm of the latency time and the logarithm of the lung-fiber concentration.

“…As previously shown by Gylseth et al (6), the shrinkage of the tissue during the drying process breaks long fibers. Such breakage certainly also occurs for asbestos bodies at almost the same extent.…”
