Asbestos exposure and mesothelioma in South Africa

Objectives: To describe the exposure experiences of South African mesothelioma cases, with emphasis on the contribution made to the caseload by different fibre types, the proportion of subjects with no recall of asbestos exposure and only environmental contact, and the importance of putative causes other than asbestos. Design: A multi-centred case-control study.
