  • Title: [Mortality of workers employed at an asbestos cement manufacturing plant in Senigallia].
    Author: Pettinari A, Mengucci R, Belli S, Comba P.
    Journal: Med Lav; 1994; 85(3):223-30. PubMed ID: 7935144.
    Abstract:
    The mortality (1948-1990) was investigated in 561 workers employed in an asbestos cement plant in Senigallia (Central Italy). A significant increase in lung cancer was observed in male subjects (SMR: 276; 95% C.I.: 175.2-414.8, 23 observed). The excess mortality was a function of the induction-latency time. Five deaths were observed among women, one of which due to malignant pleural neoplasm.
