Asbestos exposure, asbestosis, and asbestos-attributable lung cancer.
The study was designed to test the hypothesis that the risk of lung cancer from asbestos exposure is confined to persons with radiographic evidence of pulmonary fibrosis. Occupational and smoking histories were obtained from 271 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of primary lung cancer and 678 referents (279 with other respiratory disease and 399 with cardiac disease). Histories were reviewed ...
متن کاملAirways obstruction from asbestos exposure and asbestosis revisited.
obstruction (reduced FEF25-75 and FEF75-85) as shown in 8,720 asbestos-exposed workers who at various times during this evolution show irregular opacities as seen in the chest x-ray films.1 Thus, the disease's functional signs precede the radiographic manifestations. This was confirmed pathologically as fibrosis was found far more often on tissue sections when lung was examined from asbestos wo...
متن کاملAsbestosis and mesothelioma among British asbestos workers (1971-2005).
BACKGROUND Ascertainment of asbestosis and mesothelioma from underlying cause of death underestimates the burden of these diseases. The aims of this study were to estimate the true frequency of asbestosis and mesothelioma among asbestos workers in Great Britain (GB), and to identify factors associated with the risk of death with these diseases. METHODS The GB Asbestos Survey was established i...
متن کاملRisk assessment for hazardous waste disposal in abandoned mines
A significant technological challenge is the search for appropriate disposal of hazardous waste, It is evident that technologies that are simple, practical and economical for use should be developed, and they should both safeguard public health and reduce environmental pollution. Temporal disposal on the ground surface is a common approach in many European countries, a technique that could cont...
متن کاملRetrospective exposure assessment to airborne asbestos among power industry workers
BACKGROUND A method of individually assessing former exposure to asbestos fibres is a precondition of risk-differentiated health surveillance. The main aims of our study were to assess former levels of airborne asbestos exposure in the power industry in Germany and to propose a basic strategy for health surveillance and the early detection of asbestos related diseases. METHODS Between March 2...
