The presence and extent of a third wave, however, are difficult to assess, and the extent and risk of both occupational and nonoccupational third-wave exposures are largely unmeasured. Moreover, we lack information on the extent of deterioration of in situ asbestos, and its significance for ambient and third-wave exposures. This paper considers the available evidence about the third wave. It proposes approaches to obtaining the information needed to properly estimate the risk of third-wave exposures, and guide actions that will crest a likely third wave with minimum harm and cost to the community.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.17061\/phrp2621614","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,4,14]],"date-time":"2016-04-14T20:08:04Z","timestamp":1460664484000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Mesothelioma in Australia: cresting the third wave"],"prefix":"10.1071","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Bruce","family":"Armstrong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"A School of Public Health, University of Sydney, NSW, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tim","family":"Driscoll","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"A School of Public Health, University of Sydney, NSW, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"67","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,4,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026011121465520800_R1","unstructured":"Asbestos Management Review.
