Abstract
Dr. Victor Roggli republished a “literature review and critical analysis” of the toxicity of short fiber asbestos. His paper was originally prepared and presented at a conference of asbestos defense lawyers. His review omitted published papers that indicate that short fiber asbestos is a carcinogen. We critically review his paper.
