[Mortality in the cohort of the asbestos cement workers in the Eternit plant in Casale Monferrato (Italy)].

Abstract

a significant increase in mortality from the main asbestos-related diseases was confirmed by duration of exposure. In relation to latency The SMRs for lung and pleural cancer present a curvilinear trend with a decrease for longest latency periods (after 30 years from the cessation of exposure). The SMRs for peritoneal cancer and asbestosis showed a monotonic increase.
