Abstract
Documented experimental evidence, as well as the results of preliminary experiments, are presented which indicate a reduction in pathogenicity as the polyfilamentous arrangement of asbestos dust particles is replaced by a monofilamentous structure. On the basis of this evidence, it is proposed that the locus of pathogenicity of asbestos dust particles resides in their polyfilamentous structure.Keywords
