The incidence of pleural mesothelioma (PM), chronic fibrosing pleurisy (CFP) and calcified pleural plaques (CPP) has been studied in Anatolia (Turkey) in relation with environmental pollution by mineral fibers: 1) In central Anatolia, where asbestos deposits have been described, the frequency of CFP and CPP was in the range 2-25%; several cases of PM have been encountered. 2) One area (Cappadoce) is free of asbestos, but contains another kind of mineral fiber: zeolite. In this area, an outbreak of PM has been described in some villages. Among the 600 inhabitants of Karain, 28 cases of PM occurred for the period January 1975-June 1979.
