Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Nous pensons qu'il est préférable d'employer le terme «amiantose», parce que le terme «asbeste» ne se rapporte qu'à un seul type d'amiante. Voir la justification qui suit. 5, record 1, French, - amiantose
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Devant le cas de synonymie géographique que posent les termes utilisés pour désigner la maladie professionnelle contractée à la suite d'une exposition aux fibres d'amiante, soit «amiantose» au Québec et «asbestose» en France, on est en droit de penser qu'«amiante» et «asbeste» présentent [...] une parenté notionnelle [...]. [...] le terme amiante entretient avec le terme asbeste une relation de générique à spécifique, le terme «amiante» pouvant s'appliquer à la fois au chrysotile et aux amphiboles. Quant au terme «asbeste», on le réserve aux seules variétés amphiboliques. 6, record 1, French, - amiantose
