Abstract
Asbestos disease in the occupational setting has been documented since the beginning of this century. Modern usage of asbestos fiber has brought with it concomitant and widespread contamination of the environment. The need to control asbestos is required in the forms of legislation and surveillance, to prevent the spread of asbestos disease into the general population.
