- Asbestos has been declared a proven human carcinogen by the U.S. Environ-mental Protection Agency and by the International Agency for Research on Cancer of the World Health Organization. Since 1983, the European Union has enforced health protection directions in this field, which have been the basis for legal acts of Member States. The Estonian Republic is a country where asbestos and asbestos-containing materials have been used in quite large quantities, especially during the Soviet period. Today the use and sale of asbestos minerals and asbestos containing products are prohibited in Estonia. Unfortunately there has been no substantial overview of the health status of workers exposed to asbestos. The objective of this study was to evaluate the extent of health risks of workers exposed to asbestos in Estonia.
