(a) National mesothelioma mortality and average amphibole asbestos lung burdens in Britain by year of birth (fibres/mg longer than 5 microns). Subjects born 1940–64 are predominantly resected lung cancer patients, whereas all but one of those born 1965–92 are pneumothorax patients. (b) Average amphibole asbestos lung burdens in occupationally exposed men by year of birth (fibres/mg longer than 5 microns). Data for environmental exposure only include both sexes.
