This paper is intended to give the reader an overview of the epidemiology of asbestos-related diseases and is restricted to primarily occupational exposure studies. However, some mention of nonoccupational exposures are made because of their direct relationship to a worker or to a secondary occupational source. Over 100 epidemiological studies are reviewed, dating back to the first case of asbestos-associated disease reported by Montague Murray in 1906. The studies are divided by specific fiber type and by specific disease outcomes and the interaction of asbestos and cigarette smoking is discussed in great detail.
本文旨在向读者概述石棉相关疾病的流行病学情况,且主要限于职业暴露研究。然而,由于非职业暴露与工人或二次职业来源有直接关系,所以也会有所提及。本文回顾了100多项流行病学研究,时间可追溯到1906年蒙塔古·默里报告的首例石棉相关疾病病例。这些研究按特定纤维类型和特定疾病结果进行了分类,并详细讨论了石棉与吸烟的相互作用。
