Read MoreImpact of an asbestos cement factory on mesothelioma incidence: Global assessment of effects of occupational, familial, and environmental exposure
Environmental International 2015 January [Link] Mensi C, Riboldi L, De Matteis S, Bertazzi PA, Consonni D. Abstract Few studies have examined the incidence of malignant mesothelioma (MM) associated with distinct sources of asbestos exposure (occupational, familial, or environmental).
