Asbestosis among electricians.

M J Hodgson1, D K Parkinson, S Sabo, G R Owens, J H Feist.   

Abstract

In a cross-sectional study of a small group of non-shipyard electricians, the prevalence of asbestosis, defined as irregular opacities of at least 1/0 profusion, was found to be 15% overall and 25% after 20 years of service. Irregular opacities occurred more frequently among smokers. Cost estimates for asbestos-related disease should include construction electricians in the populations at risk.
