Objective

TO CARRY OUT FIBER ANALYSIS IN LUNGS OF PATIENTS WITH ASBESTOS RELATED DISEASES.

THE USE OF VARIOUS ELECTRON-MICROSCOPIC METHODS, INCLUDING SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY (STEM) TO UNDERTAKE FIBRE ANALYSIS IN LUNGS OF PATIENTS WITH ASBESTOS RELATED DISEASES (MESOTHELIOMA, LUNG CANCER WITH AND WITHOUT ASBESTOSIS, ASBESTOSIS OF LUNG AND PLEURAL SPACE.) RESULTS ARE COMPARED WITH CONTROL GROUP WITHOUT OCCUPATIONAL ASBESTOS DUST EXPOSURE. MEASUREMENTS ARE CARRIED OUT ON 30 - 40 HUMAN LUNGS.
