The primary objective of the conference is to improve the scientific
foundation for health risk assessments of asbestos, focusing principally
on nonoccupational exposures. Included will be presentations and posters
on asbestos mineralogy, exposure, epidemiology and mechanisms of toxicity
and carcinogenicity. The conference will conclude with a discussion
of the implications for risk assessment methods and models, focusing
on the potential health risks related to nonoccupational exposures
to different asbestos fiber types or fiber dimensions. The conference
will include broad international participation from scientists in
government, academia and the private sector, and will identify issues
that need to be addressed in the next generation of risk assessments
to characterize the health risks of nonoccupational exposures to asbestos.
