For asbestosis and mesothelioma the numbers are taken from death certificates mentioning either of these conditions. An estimated 100 mesotheliomas annually are not asbestos-related. For other diseases the numbers are for individual awards of death benefit under the industrial injuries scheme (excluding those for asbestosis and mesothelioma) up to the discontinuation of this benefit in April 1988. These figures exclude asbestos-related lung cancers, which are estimated to be about twice as numerous as mesotheliomas.
