摘要：

Evidence is presented that shows that asbestos contains organic material, some of which arises by contamination when the fibre has been stored in bags made of polythene. The contamination comprises not only the constituents of polythene, but also some of their oxidation products formed when they make contact with asbestos. Some of these products have been identified. It is known that organic material extracted from asbestos is weakly carcinogenic; it is not known however whether the oxidation products of some constituents of polythene are carcinogenic, but the implications of this finding are discussed. © 1969, The British Empire Cancer Campaign for Research.
