The epidemiology of asbestos-related diseases
Lung Cancer, 2004Asbestos has been recognised as a potential health hazard since the 1940s. Of the two major species of asbestos; white asbestos (chrysotile) and blue asbestos (crocidolite), both of which are hazardous. The workers at extraction facilities are at the greatest risk of exposure to asbestos and, therefore, the development of asbestos-related diseases ...

Asbestos-related disease in upholsterers
Archives of Environmental & Occupational Health, 2017Before its use was banned in developed countries, asbestos was widely applied in upholstery. However, the risk of asbestos diseases among upholsterers has only rarely been reported.

Asbestos-related pleural disease
Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2012Asbestos exposure is the cause of significant pleural disease - both benign and malignant. Although there is increased awareness, individuals continue to be exposed, and we will continue to see its sequelae for years to come because of the delay between exposure and disease manifestation.

InnovAiT: Education and inspiration for general practice, 2014
Asbestos exposure used to be commonplace among manual workers in the UK. Although its import and use has been banned since the 1980s, the long latent period between exposure and onset of symptoms, means that the incidence of asbestos-related diseases has not yet peaked.

Abstract Asbestos exposure results in a spectrum of respiratory diseases. Both mesothelioma and lung cancer are directly associated with exposure to asbestos usually after a long latency period, whereas other noncancerous diseases such as asbestosis result in crippling debility.

[Non-malignant asbestos-related diseases].
Revue des maladies respiratoires, 1998Non malignant asbestos diseases are dominated numerically by pleural plaques. This form of circumscribed fibrosis of the parietal pleural is generally asymptomatic and its potential for evolution is weak. More rarely diffuse pleural fibrosis results from disease of the visceral pleura with a secondary fusion of the two pleural layers.

Guidelines on Asbestos-Related Pleuropulmonary Disease
Archivos de Bronconeumología ((English Edition)), 2005Asbestos and some of its properties, such as resistance to heat, has been known to man since 2500 BC, when it was already being used by Finnish potters.

Diagnosis of asbestos-related lung diseases
Expert Review of Respiratory Medicine, 2019The diagnosis of lung disease in asbestos-exposed individuals is a process that not only requires a detailed occupational and tobacco smoking history, but the correlation with physical signs, appropriate imaging, detailed lung function assessment and histology/cytology when required.
