title: [The problem of asbestos today].
abstract: The exposure to asbestos (on workplaces and in environment) remains an open problem of greatest importance, even though asbestos has been proclaimed since 1992. The work physician must carefully identify the various work exposures in different jobs and practices, but he must above all acquire the best knowledges for a good diagnosis of every asbestos related pathology, also due past exposures.
