Summary: A study of nearly 7,300 men in the 1891-1920 birth cohort of Quebec chrysotile miners and millers, who were analyzed to determine whether asbestos exposure increases the risk of lung cancer among smokers. The results indicated, among other things, that smoking and exposure to chrysotile appear to act independently in causing lung cancer, with 10 cigarettes a day having an effect similar to exposure amounting to 700 million particles per cubic foot "x" years.
