1966年以前，在几个不同国家进行的一系列研究表明，有石棉粉尘职业接触史的人患石棉肺和间皮瘤的风险很高，患肺癌的风险也很高。”还有证据表明，接触石棉引起的间皮瘤或肺癌通常在初次接触石棉多年后才会出现。尽管有证据表明石棉粉尘会增加患消化道癌症的风险，但人们对石棉粉尘有时会造成致命的影响知之甚少。“这项调查始于1966年，主要是为了获取吸烟和接触石棉粉尘对肺癌和慢性非传染性肺病死亡的综合影响的信息；获取间皮瘤和肺癌以外癌症的进一步证据；并获得关于职业接触石棉粉尘在多大程度上增加了所有原因造成的总死亡率的信息。一些早期的发现已经发表。
Before 1966, there was evidence from a number of studies conducted in several different countries that people with a history of occupational exposure to asbestos dust are at risk of developing asbestosis and mesothelioma and at very high risk of lung cancer." There was also evidence that mesothelioma or lung cancer resulting from asbestos exposure does not usually appear until many years after initial exposure. s Little more was known about the sometimes fatal effects of exposure to asbestos dust although there was some evidence that it increases the risk of cancer of the digestive tract.'This investigation was started in 1966 primarily to obtain information on the combined effects of cigarette smoking and exposure to asbestos dust in respect to death from lung cancer and chronic noninfectious pulmonary diseases; to obtain further evidence concerning cancer other than mesothelioma and lung cancer; and to obtain information on the degree to which occupational exposure to asbestos dust increases total death rates from all causes combined. Some of the early findings have been published 6•'
