NIOSH seeks comment on revised asbestos draft
NIOSH is seeking public comment until Sept. 30 on a revised draft strategic research document that addresses scientific uncertainties about occupational exposure and toxicity issues related to asbestos fibers and other elongated mineral particles.
"Asbestos Fibers and Other Elongated Mineral Particles: State of the Science and Roadmap for Research" incorporates public and peer review comments into an initial version of the document that opened for review in 2007.
NIOSH Director Dr. John Howard said the research is designed to help remove uncertainties for the range of stakeholders who are affected by asbestos health issues.
