The American Medical Association talks of asbestos and its relationship to lung cancer.

The Chief Inspector of Factories in Great Britain reported on all of the known cases of asbestosis (235) in Great Britain, where 13% were due to lung cancer where 15 of all deaths were due to this cause. Among women known to have asbestosis, 8% had lung cancer, when at the time, very few women smoked and the amount of female lung cancer was quite rare.

The American Medical Association runs an editorial urging increased attention by the medical profession to asbestos exposed workers because of their risk of developing lung cancer.

Epidemiological evidence from a United Kingdom cohort of 113 men who had worked for more than 20 years and were employed before 1930 in an asbestos textile plant was reported by Doll in 1955 which showed a ten fold excess risk in developing lung cancer.

A National Gypsum Company internal memo states, “just as certain as death and taxes is the fact that if you inhale asbestos, you will get asbestosis.”

Lung cancer, stomach cancer, colon cancer, rectal cancer and pleural and peritoneal mesotheliomas caused as a result of asbestos.

A confidential, internal Exxon report acknowledges that asbestos exposure can cause lung disease.
