This review attempts to estimate the contribution of different known work-related causes of lung cancer in the Norwegian male population in order to predict the potential of prevention of work-related cases. The presented estimates are based on data from epidemiologic studies made in Norway, but may be of significance for other countries with a similar work-force structure. Over the past decade asbestos-related lung cancer appears to have contributed about two-thirds of the lung cancers that have been related to work exposure in Norway, for example, possibly 125-175 of the 1100 cases that occurred among Norwegian men in 1987. The potential for prevention is, however, greater due to synergism. To a less extent compounds of nickel and chromium have also contributed, along with exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, radon daughters, seafaring work, and other, less significant specific and nonspecific determinants of lung cancer.
本综述旨在估算挪威男性人群中已知的不同与工作相关的肺癌病因的贡献，以便预测预防与工作相关病例的可能性。所呈现的估算基于挪威进行的流行病学研究数据，但对于劳动力结构相似的其他国家可能也具有重要意义。在过去十年中，与石棉相关的肺癌似乎占挪威与工作接触相关肺癌病例的约三分之二，例如，1987年挪威男性发生的1100例病例中可能有125 - 175例。然而，由于协同作用，预防潜力更大。镍和铬的化合物以及多环芳烃、氡子体、航海工作和其他不太重要的肺癌特异性和非特异性决定因素的暴露也有一定贡献。
