Another 100 Australians who may have been exposed to Mr Fluffy loose-fill asbestos while living in Canberra and have since been diagnosed interstate with mesothelioma, cancer or other asbestos-related illnesses are expected to be discovered as part of a major ACT health study. The final stage of the ACT Asbestos Taskforce's health study is set to begin in weeks, a long-awaited effort to combine data from the national cancer database with the ACT's register of 1022 homes that had Mr Fluffy asbestos installed over several decades.
