摘要

简介:吸入石棉纤维可导致一系列疾病,包括石棉肺、胸膜斑块、肺癌和恶性间皮瘤。尽管做出了监管努力,石棉相关疾病仍然是一个重大的公共卫生问题。目的:本研究旨在评估石棉接触工人中石棉相关疾病的特征和患病率。方法:2018年3月至2023年3月,我们对阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯的地下工人进行了描述性队列研究。实施了包括体检在内的全面筛查和监测方案,以确定与接触有关的体征和症状。使用光镜和偏光显微镜对肺癌病例石蜡包埋组织块的组织学切片进行分析。结果:共纳入2,690名参与者,其中2.8% (n = 77)患有石棉相关疾病,0.22% (n = 6)患有肺癌。职业接触超过20年与石棉相关疾病的风险增加显著相关(奇比:3.02;95%可信区间1.7 - -5.3)。结论:地下工人的职业病患病率与其他石棉暴露工人监测项目的发现一致。职业接触超过20年成为一个重要的风险因素,显著增加了石棉相关疾病的可能性。

A comprehensive multidisciplinary approach for identifying asbestos exposure among underground workers.

Introduction: Inhalation of asbestos fibers can lead to a range of diseases, including asbestosis, pleural plaques, lung cancer, and malignant mesothelioma. Despite regulatory efforts, asbestos-related diseases remain a significant public health issue.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the characteristics and prevalence of asbestos-related diseases among exposed workers.

Methods: We conducted a descriptive cohort study with underground workers in Buenos Aires, Argentina, from March 2018 to March 2023. A comprehensive screening and surveillance program, including medical examinations, was implemented to identify exposure-related signs and symptoms. Histological sections from paraffin-embedded tissue blocks were analyzed using light and polarization microscopy for lung cancer cases.

Results: A total of 2,690 participants were included, of whom 2.8% (n = 77) had asbestos-related diseases and 0.22% (n = 6) had lung cancer. Occupational exposure exceeding 20 years was significantly associated with an elevated risk of asbestos-related diseases (odd ratio: 3.02; 95%CI 1.7-5.3).

Conclusions: The prevalence of occupational diseases among underground workers was consistent with findings from other surveillance programs for asbestos-exposed workers. Occupational exposure exceeding 20 years emerged as a significant risk factor, markedly increasing the likelihood of asbestos-related diseases.
