1975/76年间，土耳其Anatolian Karain偏远村庄的575名居民中有11人死于胸膜间皮瘤，5例为纤维化性胸膜炎。在过去的5年中，有25例间皮瘤。胸膜钙化斑块在x线摄影上很常见。石棉不存在于当地的土壤或岩石中，村里也不处理石棉，但在水中发现了一些纤维。在检查的5例病例中，2例在胸膜组织中也发现纤维。邻近村庄的居民没有患间皮瘤。
The 575 inhabitants of the remote Anatolian village of Karain [Turkey] suffered 11 deaths from pleural mesothelioma in 1975/76 and there were 5 cases of fibrosing pleurisy. In the previous 5 yr there were 25 cases of mesothelioma. Calcified pleural plaques were common on survey radiography. Asbestos does not occur in the local soil or rock, nor is it handled in the village, but a few fibers were found in the water. Fibers were also found in the pleural tissue of 2 of 5 cases examined. Inhabitants of the neighboring villages are free of mesothelioma.
