The work of the Society for the Prevention of Asbestosis and Industrial Disease suggests that arbitrary rules, operated for the purpose of deciding which cases may benefit from employment insurance schemes, are adding to the recognized problems connected with the diagnosis of asbestos disease. As a result, statistics are unrealistic and do not include cases which show not only that workers in th asbestos manufacturing industry are at risk, but that asbestos, including chrysotile, affects the health of the community.
预防石棉沉着病和工业疾病协会的工作表明，为决定哪些病例可受益于失业保险计划而实施的武断规则，正在加剧与石棉病诊断相关的已知问题。因此，统计数据不切实际，不仅未涵盖那些表明石棉制造业工人面临风险的病例，也未涵盖那些表明包括温石棉在内的石棉会影响社区健康的病例。
