Exposure to asbestos can cause malignant mesothelioma 30\u201340\u2009years after exposure. A description of sources of exposure is important for prevention and possible financial compensation. Three women with cases of histologically confirmed malignant mesothelioma diagnosed from non\u2010occupational asbestos exposure are described. Patients were contacted for an interview to assess their exposure history to asbestos. All three cases had mixed exposure histories related to secondary, environmental contamination, and domestic exposure. This case series highlight how ubiquitous asbestos is in the environment and how diverse the exposures may be. It is anticipated that a significant number of cases of non\u2010occupational mesothelioma will be seen in many countries for several decades given the extent of asbestos containing materials.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/rcr2.386","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,21]],"date-time":"2018-11-21T00:00:11Z","timestamp":1542758411000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["The significance of non\u2010occupational asbestos exposure in women with mesothelioma"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"7","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1526-2495","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nonhlanhla","family":"Tlotleng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute for Occupational Health National Health Laboratory Services  Johannesburg South Africa"},{"name":"School of Public Health, Faculty of Health Sciences University of the Witwatersrand  South Africa"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kerry","family":"Sidwell Wilson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute for Occupational Health National Health Laboratory Services  Johannesburg South Africa"},{"name":"School of Public Health, Faculty of Health Sciences University of the Witwatersrand  South Africa"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nisha","family":"Naicker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute for Occupational Health National Health Laboratory Services  Johannesburg South Africa"},{"name":"School of Public Health, Faculty of Health Sciences University of the Witwatersrand  South Africa"},{"name":"Department of Environmental Health, Faculty of Health Sciences University of Johannesburg  South Africa"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Coenraad FN","family":"Koegelenberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences Stellenbosch University  South Africa"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Rees","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute for Occupational Health National Health Laboratory Services  Johannesburg South Africa"},{"name":"School of Public Health, Faculty of Health Sciences University of the Witwatersrand  South Africa"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"James Ian","family":"Phillips","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute for Occupational Health National Health Laboratory Services  Johannesburg South Africa"},{"name":"Department of Biomedical Technology, Faculty of Health Sciences University of Johannesburg  South Africa"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","volume-title":"International ban asbestos secretariat","author":"Kazan\u2010Allen L","year":"2015"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","volume-title":"Occupational health and safety act of 1993.
