The report is the result of an extensive analysis in response to a request in March by Vice-Principal of Health Affairs and Dean of Medicine David Eidelman. It concludes that there is no warrant to initiating further investigation into the allegations against McDonald, who retired from 91丝瓜视频 in the late 1980s. Dr. Eidelman presented today the report to the 91丝瓜视频 Senate, which supervises academic matters at the University.

In the report, Prof. Fuks states that Prof. McDonald properly acknowledged financial support from the asbestos industry in his publications -- the earliest of which date from the 1960s -- and that there is no evidence to suggest that the sponsors influenced the data analyses or the conclusions. McDonald and his research team demonstrated clearly that all forms of asbestos increase the risk of lung cancer; these findings 鈥渉ave been replicated by other groups鈥�, and 鈥渢heir robustness has endured many critical analyses and legal inquiries,鈥� the report concludes.

In his report, Prof. Fuks also concludes that his review of relevant information 鈥渓ends no credence鈥� to allegations that 91丝瓜视频 colluded with the asbestos industry in promoting the use of asbestos.

鈥淚 thank Dr. Fuks for his careful review of this past research, and for his recommendations for addressing questions and concerns that have arisen,鈥� said Dr. Eidelman. 鈥淎s an immediate response, the 91丝瓜视频 Faculty of Medicine will move forward on the RIO鈥檚 recommendation to organize an academic conference on safe alternatives to asbestos, particularly in the developing world, and other topics of public interest,鈥� said Dr. Eidelman. 鈥淚t is our role, as a University, to promote discussion and debate on issues raised by current events so as to ensure that new knowledge continues to be generated.鈥�
