Subject: Not only asbestos causes mesothelioma
Harvard School of Public Health reported yesterday that high exposure to a fibrous volcanic mineral called erionite also causes mesothelioma. In three villages in Turkey ? two exposed to erionite, one control ? 891 men and women age 20 years and older were followed for 23 years. During this period, 372 deaths occurred, and 119 of these deaths occurred from mesothelioma. Blocks of erionite from volcanic tuff have been used in construction, and storage rooms for produce have been cut in the tuff.
