Mineral fiber content of lung tissue in patients with environmental exposures: household contacts vs. building occupants
…occupationally exposed individuals. In contrast, our studies of four occupants of buildings with asbestos-containing materials indicate that these individuals often have pulmonary asbestos burdens indistinguishable from the general nonoccupationally exposed population. However, one such building…

Decreased lung function in long-term asbestos cement workers: a cross-sectional study
…The primary type of asbestos used was chrysotile and the general dust level in the two decades 1950-1970 seems to have been around 10 mg/m3 while the asbestos fiber concentration averaged 2 fibers/ml…

Epidemiology of malignant mesothelioma--an outline
…the 20-year period, 1974-1994, showed a wide range of outcomes, but in general that the risk was higher in exposures which included amphiboles rather than chrysotile alone. Real progress began, however, with discoveries along…

Are airborne refractory ceramic fibers similar to asbestos in their carcinogenicity?
…there were 12 deaths from lung cancer. General population rates predicted 11.8 cases expected for an observed/expected (O/E) ratio of 1.0. Anticipated numbers of deaths from lung cancer under hypotheses of carcinogenicity…

Lung cancer risk and welding: results from a case-control study in Germany
…In contrast, a history of welding in general for at least a half-year is 28% among cases and 23% among controls, yielding an OR of 1.25 (95% CL: 0.94-1.65) after adjustment…
