Asbestosis Requiring Lung Transplantation in a Retired Hairdresser: An Occupational Exposure to Comb Through [PDF]

Respirology Case Reports
Asbestosis is a form of fibrotic interstitial lung disease caused by the inhalation of excessive asbestos fibres. We describe a patient who developed asbestosis due to occupational exposures while working as a hairdresser in the 1970s and 1980s.

An Evaluation of Mortality Rates and Their Determinants in a Cohort of Former Asbestos Miners in South Africa. [PDF]

Am J Ind Med
ABSTRACT Background A causal association between occupational asbestos exposure and lung disease, including pneumoconiosis and mesothelioma, is well established. Elevated mortality among former asbestos miners is expected. However, large‐scale South African studies examining all‐cause mortality in this population are lacking.
