Definition:
Adenocarcinoma of the lung is a type of lung cancer. Like other cancers, adenocarcinoma is the growth of abnormal cells. These cancerous cells multiply out of control, and form a tumor. As the tumor grows, it destroys parts of the lung. Eventually, the tumor's abnormal cells can spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body, including the brain.
Suspect material

Building material suspected of containing asbestos, e.g., surfacing material, floor tile, ceiling tile, thermal system insulation, and miscellaneous other materials.
Cancer Effect Level (CEL)
Definition:
The lowest dose of chemical in a study, or group of studies, that produces
significant increases in the incidence of cancer (or tumors) between the exposed population and its
appropriate control.
