Abstract
For reasons including resistance to fire and wear, asbestos fibers have been widely incorporated into buildings and cars. Although for health reasons the use asbestos in new products has dropped sharply since the early 1970s, asbestos may still be present wherever it was ornigally installed. In this paper, the asbestos literature will be discussed under its industrial, medical, legal, control, and abatement aspects. Important sources for each category are presented in the text. A list of other recent sources is given in the Appendix.
