A survey was conducted during a 15-years period (1981-1994) among a group of workers employed in shipyards and in cooperating plants, who were exposed to asbestos. In a group of 681 people surveyed a growing incidence of asbestosis of the lung was revealed: from 3.9% in 1981 to 17.9% in 1994. Since 1990, 19 persons have been found to have malignant neoplasms, in that number in 9 cases the location of neoplasm was evidently associated with the effects of the asbestos dust (3 mesotheliomas of the pleura and 6 bronchial cancers of the lungs). The smoking habit was probably a contributing factor in the occurrence of these diseases.
在1981年至1994年的15年期间，对一群在造船厂和合作工厂工作且接触石棉的工人进行了一项调查。在接受调查的681人中，发现肺部石棉沉着病的发病率呈上升趋势：从1981年的3.9%升至1994年的17.9%。自1990年以来，已发现19人患有恶性肿瘤，其中9例肿瘤的位置显然与石棉粉尘的影响有关（3例胸膜间皮瘤和6例肺癌）。吸烟习惯可能是这些疾病发生的一个促成因素。
