This procedure describes a method for determining the distribution of fiber diameters of man-made vitreous fibers (MMVF) in bulk products by optical microscopy. Although some very thin tibers may be present in a typical bulk MMVF sample, repeated studies have shown @at optical techniques provide a s

Large quantities of man-made vitreous fibers (MMVF) are handled in the Swedish prefabricated wooden house industry. The present study is part of a program to investigate mortality, cancer incidence, and current as well as previous exposure to MMVF among workers in the Swedish prefabricated wooden ho
## Background: The data from a case-control study performed in france between 1989 and 1991 were used to test whether exposure to either asbestos or to man-made vitreous fibers (mmvf) is a risk factor for cancer of the larynx or the hypopharynx. ## Methods: This study involved 315 incident cases
