As opposed to North-West Corsica, North-East Corsica is rich in asbestos outcrops and a source of environmental pollution as can be seen in the airborne concentration of chrysotile and above all tremolite. We have composed the frequency of asbestos pleural plaques occurring in subjects in the two regions starting with a retrospective analysis of the radiological records of 1,721 patients born in Northern Corsica and having no occupational exposure to asbestos. The frequency is 3.8% in the North-East and 1.1% in the North-West (p less than 5%). The relative East-West risk, which is 3.3%, shows the existence of a link between pleural plaques and environmental exposure to asbestos in North-East Corsica.
与科西嘉岛西北部不同，科西嘉岛东北部富含石棉露头，是一个环境污染源，这一点从温石棉尤其是透闪石的空气中浓度便可看出。我们通过对1721名出生在科西嘉岛北部且无石棉职业暴露史的患者的放射学记录进行回顾性分析，统计了这两个地区人群中石棉胸膜斑的出现频率。东北部的频率为3.8%，西北部为1.1%（p值小于5%）。东西部相对风险为3.3%，表明科西嘉岛东北部胸膜斑与环境石棉暴露之间存在关联。
