Exposure to hazardous asbestos has been a problem for over a century. The common form of exposure typically came from the workplace. However, that has changed as asbestos has been found in the water supplies of various municipalities. One interesting study is called, “Cancer mortality in relation to asbestos in municipal water supplies.” By Wigle DT – Arch Environ Health. 1977 Jul-Aug;32(4):185-190. Here is an excerpt: “Abstract – The mortality experience of twenty-two municipalities in Quebec grouped by evidence of exposure to asbestos fibers in water supplies (known high, possible high, and probable low exposures) was evaluated. Excess mortality due to cancer of the stomach (males), pancreas (females), and lung (males) was observed in the two municipalities with known high exposures. The excesses among males have been due to occupational exposure to asbestos. The absence of excess mortality due to pancreatic cancer among males suggested that the excess among females was not due to waterborne asbestos. The study therefore did not reveal evidence of excess cancer mortality that could be attributed to exposure to asbestos in drinking water.” Continue reading ‘Asbestos Exposure in the Water Supply and Excess Cancer Mortality’ »
