The case histories of a family are described where 3 out of 4 developed asbestos-related diseases. Only the husband had direct occupational exposure handling blue-asbestos materials while working in a producing insulating factory in 1950-59. He died of pulmonary asbestosis as an occupational disease. His wife and his son died of asbestos related mesothelioma. Detailed exposure history revealed exposure to asbestos by laundering her husband's contaminated working clothes. His son was exposed to asbestos during childhood by helping his mother laundering the father's working clothes and in addition by visiting his father's working place regularly. The significance of nonoccupational exposure to asbestos is emphasized as a causative factor in the development of malignant mesothelioma.
本文描述了一个家庭的病史，该家庭中4人中有3人患上了与石棉相关的疾病。只有丈夫有直接职业暴露，他在1950年至1959年期间于一家绝缘材料生产厂工作，接触蓝石棉材料。他死于职业性肺石棉沉着病。他的妻子和儿子死于与石棉相关的间皮瘤。详细的暴露史显示，妻子通过清洗丈夫受污染的工作服接触到了石棉。他的儿子在童年时期因帮助母亲清洗父亲的工作服以及定期前往父亲的工作场所而接触到石棉。非职业性接触石棉作为恶性间皮瘤发病的一个致病因素的重要性得到了强调。
