Full Description
In an effort to study the relationship between waterborne asbestos and cancer, thirty-five raw water samples from a watershed area were analyzed for turbidity and asbestos levels. This paper establishes a significant correlation between turbidity and asbestos levels, possibly providing a means by which historical levels of asbestos and exposure to it could be ascertained. Includes 11 references, figure.
