Figures

Figures 1A through 1D comprise a set of four dot graphs, plotting Deaths per million people per year 2010 to 2014, ranging from 0.1 to 10.0 in log scale increments of a factor of 10 for Figures 1A and 1B and ranging from 0.1 and 0.3 to 1.0 and 3.0 in log scale increments of a factor of 10 for Figures 1C and 1D (y-axis) across asbestos consumption (kilograms per head per year), ranging from 0 to 8 in increments of 2 (x-axis).
Figure 1.
Ecological relationship between mortality rates in males for (A) all mesothelioma, (B) pleural mesothelioma, (C) peritoneal mesothelioma, and (D) asbestosis and historical asbestos consumption. Circles and diamonds are proportional to the size of the male population. Color and shape indicate whether countries were included (green circles) or not (purple diamonds) in the previous study. Country codes are ISO 3166.
