Rheumatic complaints and pulmonary response to chrysotile dust inhalation in the mines and mills of Quebec.

F M White, J Swift, M R Becklake.   

Abstract

In 1967-68 an age-stratified random sample of 1069 current workers in Quebec asbestos mines and mills was surveyed. Questions concerning rheumatic complaints were included in a modified MRC questionnaire used at that time, and on this basis a rheumatic severity gradient was devised. No relationship could be detected between rheumatic complaints and pulmonary radiologic response to chrysotile dust exposure, despite implications in the literature that such a relationship might exist.
