The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), along with the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) offer a great deal of valuable resources for health professionals about working with patients who are concerned about asbestos exposure. ATSDR’s Case Studies in Environmental Medicine (CSEM), ToxFAQ’s and the extensive collection of asbestos-related materials are all available at no charge on the ATSDR Web site (www.atsdr.cdc.gov).
