Malignant Mesothelioma in Rome, Italy 1980-1995. A Retrospective Study of 79 Patients

Abstract

The study confirmed that mesothelioma risk is present in several job titles of the construction industry, and it is no longer confined to workers employed in the manufacture or application of asbestos products. The occurrence of malignant mesothelioma in patients with unexpected occupational and nonoccupational exposures indicates the need for further investigation on previously underestimated exposures.
