1. What is asbestos?

?Asbestos? is the name given to a group of minerals that occurnaturally

as bundles of fibers which can be separated into thinthreads. These fibers

are not affected by heat or chemicals and do not conduct electricity. For

these reasons, asbestos has been widely used in many industries. Four types

of asbestos have been used commercially:





• Chrysotile, or white asbestos;
  

  
  

• Crocidolite, or blue asbestos;
  

  
  

• Amosite, which usually has brown fibers; and
  

  
  

• Anthophyllite, which usually has gray fibers.

Chrysotile asbestos, with its curly fibers, is in the serpentinefamily of

minerals. The other types of asbestos, which all have rod-like fibers, are

known as amphiboles.

Asbestos fiber masses tend to break easily into a dust composed of tiny

particles that can float in the air and stick toclothes. The f ibers may

be easily inhaled or swallowed and can causes erious health problems.

Asbestos was mined and used commercially in North America beginning in the

late 1800s. Its use increased greatly during World WarII. Since then, it

has been used in many industries. For example, thebui lding and construction

industry has used it for strengthening cementand plastics as well as for

insulation, fireproofing, and sound absorption. The shipbuilding industry

has used asbestos to insulate boilers, steampipes, and hot water pipes. The

automotive industry uses asbestos in vehicle brakeshoes and clutch pads.

More

than 5,000 products contain or have contained asbestos. Some of them are

listed below:

• Asbestos cement sheet and pipe products used for water supply and sewage

  piping, roofing and siding, casings for electrical wires, fire protection

  material, electrical switchboards and components, and residential and industrial

  building materials;

• Friction products, such as clutch facings, brake linings for automobiles,

  gaskets, and industrial friction materials;

• Products containing asbestos paper, such as table pads and heat-protective

  mats, heat and electrical wire insulation, industrial filters for beverages,

  and under lying material for sheet flooring;

• Most of the information on health effects comes from studies of workers

  exposed regularly to high levels of asbestos. In occupational settings

  all forms of asbestos

  have been shown to cause asbestosis, lung cancer and mesothelioma. Asbestosis

  is a noncancerous lung disease involving diffuse fibrotic scarring of the

  lungs. Persons with asbestosis can experience progressive shortness of

  breath. Lung

  cancer is associated with asbestos exposures; cigarette smoking and asbestos

  exposure multiply the risk of lung cancer beyond that caused by exposure

  to either of these materials separately. Mesothelioma is an incurable cancer

  of the lining

  of the chest cavity and abdomen.
  

• People have been exposed to asbestos by living with asbestos workers or

  living in the vicinity of asbestos mines and factories. People exposed to

  asbestos in

  such non-occupational settings have also had asbestos-related diseases including

  cancer. While most asbestos-associated cancers are related to the intensity

  and duration of exposure, reports in medical journals have linked some mesotheliomas

  to short exposure periods, on the order of months. Even in these cases, however,

  usually many years (20 years or more) elapse between the time of initial

  exposure

  to asbestos and the development of mesothelioma. In addition, there....[MORE]

Researchers with the largest phase III trial

to date for mesothelioma, an aggressive cancer affecting the lining of

the lung, reported results showing that patients on a new chemotherapy

drug regimen

live longer and have less pain than those on an older drug. The

findings were announced at the annual meeting of the American Society

of Clinical Oncology meeting in Orlando, Fla., on May 20, 2002.

Pemetrexed

(brand name AlimtaŸ) is a novel antifolate, a class of drugs that

targets the folic acid metabolic pathway, which effects availability of

certain B complex vitamins. The results of the trial show that tumors

shrank in 41 percent of patients on pemetrexed in combination with a

more commonly used chemotherapy agent called cisplatin.

Only 17 percent of patients receiving cisplatin alone experienced tumor

shrinkage. Additionally, those on the pemetrexed combination lived

nearly three months longer than those on cisplatin alone.

According

to lead author, Nicholas J. Vogelzang, M.D., University of Chicago

Cancer Research Center, "This is the largest clinical trial ever

conducted in this disease and the 25 to 30 percent improvement in

survival for patients on the combination therapy is the first time

anyone has documented a significant improvement in patients treated for

mesothelioma."

Malignant pleural mesothelioma is associated with a history of asbestos

exposure in about 70 to 80 percent of all cases and there is no

approved or very effective chemotherapy for the disease. Researchers

hypothesized that pemetrexed ....[MORE]
