Asbestos Industry Regulation and Mortality Rates Among Workers Most people are exposed to asbestos in the workplace, often due to lack of proper safety procedures and shortcuts. Some occupations are considered more dangerous than others. One interesting study is called, "A mortality study among workers in an English asbestos factory" By J Peto, R Doll, S V Howard, L J Kinlen, and H C Lewinsohn - Br J Ind Med 1977;34:169-173. Here is an excerpt: "Abstract - The previous report on this cohort study of workers in an asbestos textile factory (Knox et al., 1968) showed little evidence of increased mortality among workers who had entered the factory after the implementation in 1932 of the first Asbestos Industry Regulation (1931) but observed that no firm conclusions could be drawn, as little carcinogenic effect would be expected for 20 years after first exposure. A further 8 1/2 years of follow-up has revealed some asbestos-related disease in this latter group, although very much less than for employees first exposed before 1933. Among the 963 workers first exposed in 1933 or later, mortality was increased for carcinoma of the bronchus (31 deaths; 19-3 expected for...more

For example, people working as pipefitters, plumbers, and electricians suffer from an inordinate rate of mesothelioma disease. This has been the subject of a great deal of research. One interesting study is called, "Asbestos exposure, smoking habits, and cancer incidence among production and maintenance workers in an electrochemical plant" by Bjorn Hilt, MD, Sverre Langad, MD, MSc, Aage Andersen, Jan Rosenberg, MD - Department of Occupational Medicine, Telemark Sentralsjukehus, Porsgrunn, Norway, Cancer Registry of Norway, Montebello, Oslo, Norway, Health Department, Norsk Hydro A.S., Porsgrunn Fabrikker, Porsgrunn, Norway - American Journal of Industrial Medicine - Volume 8 Issue 6, Pages 565 – 577. Here is an excerpt: "Abstract - The incidence of cancer was studied in a cohort of 287 men who were exposed to asbestos at a nitric acid production plant from 1928 onwards. During the observation period from 1953 through 1980 all cancer cases among the cohort members were identified in The Cancer...more
