Workshop on the NIOSH Research Roadmap on Asbestos Fibers and Other Elongated Mineral Particles
Second Meeting
Monday, March 30, 2009
Lecture Room
National Academy of Sciences
2100 C Street, N.W.
Washington, DC
AGENDA
Questions for Discussion:
- Is the NIOSH Research Roadmap document consistent with the state of scientific understanding of the relevant toxicity, occupational exposures, epidemiology, and sampling or analytical methods?
- What are the future research directions needed to clarify the relationship between health effects and the physiochemical characteristics (e.g., mineralogy, morphology, dimensions, surface properties) of elongated mineral particles? What changes are needed in the Roadmap document to address these research directions?
