To examine ongoing issues and concerns in this field, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) drafted a research roadmap, Asbestos Fibers and Other Elongated Mineral Particles: State of the Science and Roadmap for Research, that provides an overview of the state of the science and a plan for future research in areas including toxicology, mineralogy, epidemiology, and exposure assessment. The focus of the proposed research is on clarifying the relationship between human health effects and the physical and chemical characteristics of a wide range of elongate mineral particles. In 2008, NIOSH asked the Institute of Medicine and the National Research Council to form a committee to provide a review of the scientific and technical quality of the January 2009 draft NIOSH Roadmap document. The present volume provides the committee's assessment of the Roadmap and recommendations for strengthening its utility for NIOSH, other federal agencies, the private sector, and other stakeholders"--Publisher's description.NIOSH roadmap for research on asbestos fibers and other elongate mineral particlesReview of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health roadmap for research on asbestos fibers and other elongate mineral particlesAsbestosInorganic fibersAsbestos.Inorganic fibers.363.17/91Nelson Alan R(Alan Ray)197894Institute of Medicine (U.S.).Committee for the Review of the NIOSH Research Roadmap on Asbestos Fibers and Other Elongate Mineral Particles.National Research Council (U.S.)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910816965803321A review of the NIOSH roadmap for research on asbestos fibers and other elongate mineral particles3937323UNINA
