Recently published research indicates that exposure to cosmetic
talc is not associated with the development of pleural
cancer/mesothelioma.
Researchers from Cardno ChemRisk have published an updated
meta-analysis on the development of pleural mesothelioma in groups
of people exposed to cosmetic-grade talc. The study considered new
information on cohorts from Italy, Norway, Austria and France, with
a total of over 100,000 person-years considered. The pooled
analysis found no incidences of confirmed mesothelioma of the
pleura in the group, whereas 7 would have been expected if there
was a link between exposure to cosmetic-grade talc and the disease.
