Abstract

Background: Asbestos is a natural fiber leading to health risks like chronic lung diseases. The current study aimed to estimate pleural mesothelioma and lung cancer risk for population exposure to asbestos in Tehran, Iran.

Study design: A cross-sectional study.

Methods: According to the annual report of Air Quality Control Company (AQCC), from 2011-2020, carcinogenic risk and mesothelioma were assessed based on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) method using the Monte Carlo simulation (MCS). The relative risk (RR) of mortality cancer was calculated based on Camus and colleagues' model. Moreover, mesothelioma risk was estimated by Bourgault and colleagues' model.

Results: The mean concentration and health risk of asbestos in ambient air generally reduced from 2011 to 2020. The highest mortality risk for lung cancer was 8.4 per 100000 persons in 2011 and reduced to 1.8 in 2017. For mesothelioma, the corresponding values were 8.96 per 100000 persons in 2011 and reduced to 1.92 in 2017.

Conclusion: The findings of this study could be helpful to health policymakers in the management of asbestos risk.

伊朗德黑兰不同地区石棉暴露人群肺癌和胸膜间皮瘤风险评估

背景:石棉是一种天然纤维，会导致慢性肺部疾病等健康风险。目前的研究旨在评估伊朗德黑兰接触石棉人群的胸膜间皮瘤和肺癌风险。研究设计:横断面研究。方法:根据美国空气质量控制公司(AQCC) 2011-2020年的年度报告，采用蒙特卡罗模拟(MCS)方法，基于美国环保署(EPA)的方法对间皮瘤和致癌风险进行评估。死亡率癌症的相对危险度(RR)是基于Camus及其同事的模型计算的。此外，通过Bourgault及其同事的模型估计间皮瘤的风险。结果:2011 - 2020年环境空气中石棉的平均浓度和健康风险总体下降。2011年，肺癌的最高死亡风险为每10万人8.4人，2017年降至1.8人。间皮瘤的对应值在2011年为8.96 / 10万人，2017年降至1.92 / 10万人。结论:本研究结果可为卫生政策制定者制定石棉风险管理方案提供参考。
