<abstract displayLabel="Summary">Strong exposure-response relationships have been found for lung cancer and for non-malignant respiratory diseases. The data suggest a doubling of the lung cancer risk at an exposure of approximately 30 fibre years. Mortality from pneumoconiosis and other respiratory diseases was elevated at even the lowest cumulative exposure category. A nested case-control analysis failed to demonstrate a significant role for mineral oil exposure in the etiology of lung cancer. Differences in airbone fibre sizes may be important in explaining different lung cancer an pneumoconiosis risks in various industries. In particular, the data on airborne fibres in textile manufacturing industries suggested 11-27% were longer than 5 mc compared to 2-5% for mining and milling</abstract>
