We have undertaken a study on 200 autopsy lung samples collected from subjects who lived in the Rome urban area and were not occupationally exposed to mineral dusts. The samples belonged to subjects who died aged between 15 and 65, both male and female. Subjects suffering from diseases and drug addicts were excluded. The purpose of this investigation was to determine whether any correlation existed between subjects' life-style, in particular smoking habits, and the presence of mineral fibres and dusts in their lungs. The data obtained were compared with those on airborne mineral dusts in the environment of the subjects themselves, particularly data on the concentration and types of mineral fibres present in that environment.
我们对200份尸检肺样本进行了研究，这些样本取自居住在罗马市区、未职业性接触矿物粉尘的受试者。样本来自年龄在15至65岁之间的死者，男女皆有。患有疾病的受试者和吸毒者被排除在外。本次调查的目的是确定受试者的生活方式，尤其是吸烟习惯，与他们肺部矿物纤维和粉尘的存在之间是否存在任何关联。将获得的数据与受试者自身环境中的空气中矿物粉尘数据进行了比较，特别是该环境中存在的矿物纤维的浓度和类型数据。
