Radiographic abnormalities in asbestos insulators: effects of duration from onset of exposure and smoking. Relationships of dyspnea with parenchymal and pleural fibrosis.

Abstract

Chest radiographs and spirometry were evaluated in 2,907 active and retired asbestos insulators; most (86.8%) had greater than or equal to 30 years from onset of asbestos exposure. Testing was performed in 19 cities in the United States during 1981-1983. Complete demographic, smoking, clinical, and radiologic data were obtained for 2,790 workers. This is… (More)
