Cardiopulmonary Function Studies in Workers Dealing with Asbestos and Glasswool.
Pulmonary fibrosis is thought to be a common complication of exposure to asbestos dust. The inhaled asbestos fibres are supposedly not transported by the pulmonary lymphatics, and thus one single massive exposure might lead to the same stage of fibrosis as a prolonged but less intense exposure. This industrial hazard has led to the search for substitutes for asbestos in insulation work, and at ...
متن کاملRegional lung function in asbestos workers.
Regional lung function was measured using radioactive xenon-133 in a group of normal subjects and in two groups of asbestos workers. When compared with the normal group, patients with pulmonary asbestosis showed impaired ventilation of the lower zones. Subjects with calcified pleural plaques without radiological evidence of lung parenchymal fibrosis did not show this abnormality.
متن کاملEvaluation of cellular immunity in patients with asbestosis and workers exposed to asbestos
Introduction: A large number of studies have proved a relationship between maligant mesothelioma and workers exposed to asbestos. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the degree of immunocompetence of the asbestos workers in comparison with non asbestos workers. Methods and materials: In this study 7 asbestotic patients, 73 workers exposed to asbestos and 59 controls from 2 Farsit fact...
متن کاملPulmonary function in asbestos cement workers: a dose-response study.
This study has found that residence time weighted exposure (asbestos dose) may be used to model the risk and extent of pulmonary function abnormalities in a cohort of asbestos cement workers. This parameter, which incorporates both exposure concentration and latency, had previously proved useful for modelling the risk of radiographic abnormalities in this cohort. Asbestos dose and smoking were ...
متن کاملLongitudinal changes in pulmonary function of asbestos workers.
OBJECTIVE To observe the longitudinal changes in pulmonary function associated with exposure to asbestos in a group of highly exposed workers. METHODS Pulmonary diffusing capacity (DLco) and spirometry of 243 Chinese asbestos workers were measured and remeasured after 5 and 10 yr. Their annual changes in relation to cumulative asbestos exposure and asbestosis were determined using multivariat...
