Chronic inhalation of asbestos fibers has been associated with the development of fibrotic and carcinogenic lung diseases. Accordingly, it seems likely that the commercial use of asbestos fibers will be banned or limited in the near future. To fill the void, a variety of nonasbestiform synthetic and mineral fibers are being promoted for commercial use. The pulmonary toxicity of many of these materials has not been fully determined, although the pathogenic effects of asbestos and other fibers have been attributed to their fibrous nature. This symposium provided an overview of some important issues to be considered in the evaluation of new fibrous materials.
