Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma: Occupational and Non-Occupational Asbestos Exposures
The objectives of this study was to review many epidemiological risk factors on the occurrence of malignant pleural mesothelioma among occupational and nonoccupational asbestos-exposed men and women mentioned in several previous studies. Asbestos exposure is a well-documented etiological factor of malignant pleural mesothelioma. The majority of cases are men and only 40% of female cases are occ...
متن کاملHuman occupational and nonoccupational exposure to fibers.
Human exposure to fibers in occupational and nonoccupational environments has been a health concern for nearly a century. In this review, selected results from the literature are presented to highlight the availability, limitations, and interpretive difficulties associated with the past and current human fiber exposure data sets. In the traditionally defined asbestos fibers, large amounts of th...
متن کاملDiscussion Summary: Potential Hazards Related to Other Nonoccupational Exposures*
-Ultrafiltrates from spleen inhibited both DNA synthesis and the proliferation of normal lymphocytes stimulated in culture from both mouse and man without apparent cytotoxicity. However, the same doses of this spleen ultrafiltrate will kill up to two-thirds of the leukaemic lymphoblasts from both mouse and man after 24 h incubation. This unique lymphocytotoxic effect could also be demonstrated ...
متن کاملRespiratory cancer in relation to occupational exposures among retired asbestos workers.
Respiratory cancer in relation to occupational exposures among retired asbestos workers. A cohort of 1348 men who completed their working lifetime in the asbestos industry and retired with an industry pension during the period 1941-67 was observed through 1969 for deaths. The average length of employment in the asbestos industry for these men was 25 years and all had exposures to asbestos dust....
متن کاملGenetic susceptibility to occupational exposures.
Because of their high prevalence in the general population, genetic variants that determine susceptibility to environmental exposures may contribute greatly to the development of occupational diseases in the setting of specific exposures occurring in the workplace. Studies investigating genetic susceptibilities in the workplace may: (1) provide mechanistic insight into the aetiology of disease,...
