"The originality of this paper concerns the detection of mesothelioma excesses not only in sites where asbestos is reported as a source of contamination but also in areas labeled for environmental remediation due to other sources of pollution. This confirms the wide range of working and living environments affected by asbestos exposure and the need for communication plans with the affected communities."
