Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral in the Earth's crust, and it is not confined to the
historic and current asbestos mining areas, but rather quite commonly encountered in
certain geological environments across the world. The middle-west side of the Korean Peninsula
(Chungnam province) has been composed of numerous talc and asbestos ore deposits derived
from serpentine and dolomite. These areas have experienced epidemics of malignant
mesothelioma and pleural plaques as a result of non-occupational “neighborhood” exposure and
naturally occurring asbestos (NOA) exposure. However, asbestosis epidemics from
environmental exposure were rare because asbestosis needs relatively high concentration of
asbestos exposure. This review summarizes asbestosis epidemics which occurred in the
residents who have lived past or current asbestos mining areas and natural in-place asbestos
deposits (or asbestos-like mineral deposits) in the world, including Korean asbestosis endemics
that occurred in Chungnam province, which has many historic asbestos mining. Also, this
manuscript will describe effective public policies for managing NOA, minimizing potential
hazards, and protecting public health from asbestos exposure.
