Abstract
The rationale and the mechanism for sputum cytology studies in the asbestos industry are essentially the same as those for other situations where special diagnostic procedures are used for the early diagnosis of a disease. The principles involved, the techniques employed, the skills required, and the anticipated returns, as well as the inherent limitations, have a universality beyond the specific situation of the asbestos industry.
