Based on analysis of lung tissue samples, Prof Peto says total environmental exposure to asbestos fibres in the UK has fallen at least a hundred fold since the 1950s, when it was so high he expects it will kill one in a hundred men in the UK born between 1938 and 1947.
He estimates children today face a risk from asbestos 10 times lower than it was 50 years ago, meaning 20 to 30 children will breathe in asbestos fibres this year which will kill them in old age.
