Recorded sources
10 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Asbestos exposure causes lung cancer and mesothelioma?

Yes. Multiple sources state that asbestos exposure causes lung cancer and mesothelioma, including a reference work that says epidemiological studies unequivocally show asbestos exposure causes lung cancer and mesothelioma, and a clinical study calling the asbestos-lung cancer link well established. Other cohort and meta-analytic studies report elevated lung cancer and mesothelioma mortality among asbestos-exposed workers.
