Although asbestos is no longer mined in the United States, prior
and ongoing exposures to asbestos continue to contribute to
respiratory diseases, including mesothelioma, lung cancer, and
asbestosis. To examine ongoing issues and concerns in this field,
the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)
drafted a research roadmap, Asbestos Fibers and Other Elongated
Mineral Particles: State of the Science and Roadmap for Research,
that provides an overview of the state of the science and a plan
for future research in areas including toxicology, mineralogy,
epidemiology, and exposure assessment. The focus of the proposed
research is on clarifying the relationship between human health
effects and the physical and chemical characteristics of a wide
range of elongate mineral particles. In 2008, NIOSH asked the
Institute of Medicine and the National Research Council to form a
committee to provide a review of the scientific and technical
quality of the January 2009 draft NIOSH Roadmap document. The
present volume provides the committee's assessment of the Roadmap
and recommendations for strengthening its utility for NIOSH, other
federal agencies, the private sector, and other stakeholders.
