European multicentric case control study on risk for mesothelioma after non-occupational (domestic and environmental) exposure to asbestos.
The paper presents the European multicentric case-control study on risk for mesothelioma after non-occupational (domestic and environmental) exposure to asbestos. The study includes eight centres in seven European countries (Belgium, Denmark, Greece, Italy, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland). It is focused on the measurement of mesothelioma risk in relation to low intensity exposure to asbestos and to exposure to MMMF and other agents. It includes incident cases of pleural malignant mesothelioma (histologically diagnosed and verified) and a random sample of the population.
