Sunday 14 April 1996
LETTERS: Briefly
Antonio Macaro, London N8
l ASBESTOS is indeed "The quiet epidemic" (7 April). Some asbestos- related deaths are inaccurately recorded as lung cancer so the true statistics are not known. It is not until post mortem that bilateral diffuse pleural thickening, for example, can be found. Unless a person is known to have been exposed to asbestos, the death would not be recorded as asbestos-related.
K M Hambly, Gloucester
l NOT content with allowing the contamination of beef through its neglect, the Government is now proposing to contaminate our fish supplies by dumping the ground-up remains of contaminated cattle in the sea.
Mary Partington, Warrington
