The number of mesotheliomas in my local/unitary authority area increased relatively more rapidly than the number for Great Britain as a whole. Does this mean my area has an asbestos problem?

This most likely means that your area had a relatively low number of mesotheliomas. The geographical distribution of mesothelioma deaths is affected by the fact that death certificates (upon which statistics are based) only record the last address of residence. Thus people may have had heavy exposures to asbestos in the past in the traditional high-risk industries located within certain geographical areas, and then moved to areas of a relatively lower risk before dying from mesothelioma.

Also, the effect of the risk of more general exposures across a wider range of occupations (e.g. Exposure to maintenance workers in buildings) is likely to affect all geographical areas and is thus likely to be most noticeable in those that have traditionally been of lowest risk. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
