The stance of the HSE in 2010 is worth mentioning: > There is a lack of scientific consensus as to whether there exists a threshold of exposure to asbestos below which a person is at zero risk of developing mesothelioma. However, there is evidence from epidemiological studies of asbestos exposed groups that any threshold for mesothelioma must be at a very low level - and it is fairly widely agreed that if a threshold does exists then it cannot currently be quantified. For practical purposes HSE does not assume that such a threshold exists. https://web.archive.org/web/20111030182149/http://www.hse.gov.uk/statistics/causdis/asbfaq.htm https://web.archive.org/web/20111030182149/http://www.hse.go...
