Asbestos was used in spray applied textured ceilings from 1945 to at least 1980. Exposure to asbestos and the probability of developing lung disease is high in individuals who lived with these types of ceilings in their home. Asbestos exposure and frequency of disease is even higher in an apartment suffering from flooding, maintenance, and/or multiple structural impacts.
Our goal is to examine a case of lung cancer in a non-smoking individual exposed to asbestos from the damaged acoustic ceilings in her apartment.
The subject's medical and occupational records were obtained and reviewed and a physical examination was performed. Exposure ratings were obtained from previous literature for discussion purposes.
Asbestos-textured ceilings are a possible source of asbestos exposure and there may be a risk of developing cancer in individuals exposed to ceiling deterioration.
1945年至至少1980年期间，石棉被用于喷涂有纹理的天花板。在家中居住在这类天花板附近的人接触石棉并患肺病的可能性很高。在遭受洪水、维修和/或多次结构冲击的公寓中，石棉暴露和疾病发生率甚至更高。
我们的目标是研究一名不吸烟个体因公寓中受损吸音天花板接触石棉而患肺癌的病例。
获取并审查了该受试者的医疗和职业记录，并进行了体格检查。为便于讨论，从先前文献中获取了暴露评级。
有纹理的石棉天花板可能是石棉暴露的一个来源，接触天花板恶化的个体可能有患癌症的风险。
