Four mesothelioma cases from a single automotive dealership: A case series

Abstract

AbstractBackgroundFour cases of mesothelioma were noted in a workplace of some 110 persons at a tractor dealership between 2006 and 2023. Each worker had a different job title.MethodsMedical‐legal case material was reviewed and abstracted from four cases from the same dealership, all supplied via one law firm.ResultsFour mesotheliomas are reported from this single facility that used chrysotile asbestos automotive products. Two of the four cases had no other known exposures to asbestos.DiscussionAutomotive products containing chrysotile do appear capable of causing mesothelioma. Job category is not a good surrogate for exposure.
