Non-occupational exposure may occur via inhalation of contaminated air-borne particulates among populations living close to mining, construction, and agricultural activities [4]. For example, several abandoned chrysotile mines and waste dumps in Australia [39], South Africa [40], and Zimbabwe [41, 42], posing non-occupational exposure risks to communities. Non-occupational exposure may also occur via the transfer of toxic contaminants from clothes of workers to their family members.
