Short, fine and WHO asbestos fibers in the lungs of quebec workers with an asbestos‐related disease
Abstract
Background: The possible role of short asbestos fibers in the development of asbestos‐related diseases and availability of lung fiber burden data prompted this study on the relationships between fiber characteristics and asbestos‐related diseases among compensated workers. Methods: Data collected between 1988 and 2007 for compensation purposes were used; lung asbestos fibers content of 123 Quebec workers are described according to socio‐demographic characteristics, job histories and diseases (asbestosis, mesothelioma, lung cancer). Results: Most workers (85%) presented chrysotile fibers in their lungs, and respectively 76%, 64%, and 43% had tremolite, amosite, and crocidolite. Half of the total fibers were short, 30% were thin fibers and 20% corresponded to the World Health Organization definition of fibers (length ≥ 5 μm, diameter ≥ 0.2 and <3 μm). Chrysotile fibers were still observed in the lungs of workers 30 years or more after last exposure. Conclusion: Our findings stress the relevance of considering several dimensional criteria to characterize health risks associated with asbestos inhalation. Am. J. Ind.

“In humans, certain epidemiological studies involving high occupational exposures report that the presence of interstitial pulmonary fibrosis correlated with a high quantity of short fibers measured in the lungs [22].”

In the citing paper
“Adib et al. [22] examined the lung burden in asbestos-exposed workers with asbestosis, lung cancer or mesothelioma. They found a low proportion of WHO fibers (about 20%), and a majority of SAF (about 50%), including chrysotile.”

“Several investigators have suggested that SAF may play a role in the induction of pathologies, particularly cancer, and do not recommend immediately ruling out this particle size class [19-22].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
