Asbestos exposure during home renovation in New South Wales

Objective: Asbestos exposure is causally associated with the development of malignant mesothelioma (MM), which is increasingly being reported after exposure to asbestos fibro sheeting in Australia. In this study, we investigate self‐reported non‐occupational asbestos exposure during home renovation in New South Wales.
