ASBESTOS AND HEALTH

Dangers to health from asbestos have been exaggerated, an Ontario official said.

Dr. J.E. Cowle, head of the occupation-

-a@l chest diseases section, criticized press reports of the probability of in- creased lung cancer and asbestosis from asbestos particles carried in the air.

He said no record exists of asbest- osis occurring in people, unless they have worked in an industry associated with asbestos for a prolonged period.

Lung cancer occurs more often in people with asbestosis. "but there is no proof yet to show that asbestos workers who do not have some degree of asbestosis have an increased incidence of lung cancer,"'

Dr. Irving J. Selikoff was reported to have told a cancer conference last fall that he was concerned about the pos- sible risks to people other than indust- rial workers. He was quoted as saving that 7 per cent of insulation workers succumb to a tumor known as mesothelioma and that even those who are merely ex- posed to asbestos particles indirectly may be at risk of developing the disease which occurs about 30 years after initial exposure,
