Abstract
In a cross-sectional study of a small group of non-shipyard electricians, the prevalence of asbestosis, defined as irregular opacities of at least 1/O profusion, was found to be 15% overrall and 25% after 20 years of service. Irregular opacities occurred more frequently among smokers Cost estimates for asbestos-related disease should include construction electricians in the populations at risk.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
