“…II). Three clusters were related to exposure at home because of the recycling of asbestos-contaminated textiles [Li et al, 1989;Nalepa and Zielinski, 2001;Ascoli et al, 2003]; an asbestos hazard in the reprocessed textile industry has been pointed for sporadic mesothelioma [Quinn et al, 1987]. Two clusters were related to non-occupational exposure at home (Table III, Brescia Registry, cluster no.…”

“…Other chil dren or adults suffering from pleural mesothelioma, where the asbestos-dust exposure originated from child hood, can be seen from table 1. There are also reports of frequent cases of asbestos-induced mesotheliomas within the family as a result of household contacts [85][86][87], There are reports from both Krousel et al [63] and Li et al [58,66] according to which both the wives and the daughters of men who worked with asbestos insulation materials died from mesotheliomas.

On the other hand, the re ported cases of childhood mesothelioma have also been cited as evidence to suggest the existence of nonasbestos-related meso thelioma in adults [6],…”
