The natural history of asbestosis in former crocidolite workers of Wittenoom Gorge.
, Am Rev Respir Dis, Vol: 133, Pages: 994-998, ISSN: 0003-0805The course of pulmonary asbestosis and its determinants have been examined in 280 applicants for compensation among former workers of the crocidolite mine and mill at Wittenoom Gorge, Western Australia. Serial chest radiographs accrued over more than 3 decades were graded for parenchymal disease separately by two observers according to the 1980 ILO Classification of Radiographs for Pneumoconioses and without knowledge of exposure histories or compensation details. In 136 subjects whose median duration of exposure was 37 months, radiographic asbestosis appeared between 1 and 34 yr after initial exposure and then progressed continuously. Total exposure to asbestos and time from first exposure to the appearance of definite radiographic asbestosis were significant determinants of the rate of progression of profusion of radiographic abnormality. Asbestosis should be considered to be an active disease even 3 decades after exposure has ended.

Atopy, non-allergic bronchial reactivity, and past history as determinants of work related symptoms in seasonal grain handlers.
, Br J Ind Med, Vol: 43, Pages: 396-400, ISSN: 0007-1072One hundred and five young subjects with little or no previous exposure to grain dust were studied before and after a seven week period of grain handling work to determine if there was an association between symptoms experienced at work and pre-employment respiratory symptoms, allergy skin test responses, and non-allergic bronchial reactivity. The incidence of work related symptoms was cough 18%, wheeze 13%, and dyspnoea 14%. The results showed that pre-employment history of respiratory symptoms, positive allergy skin test responses, and a high level of non-allergic bronchial reactivity were significantly associated with these symptoms. These measurements may be useful to predict symptoms associated with exposure to grain dust in new employees and the results suggest that these work related symptoms may be due to allergen induced asthma.

Associations between asthma history, atopy, and non‐specific bronchial responsiveness in young adults
, Clinical Experimental Allergy, Vol: 16, Pages: 425-432, ISSN: 0954-7894In 105 subjects taken from a student population and aged between 15 and 30 there was a strong positive association between the presence of the atopic state, defined by skin tests, and a high level of non‐specific bronchial responsiveness to methacholine (χ<sup>2</sup>= 10·5, d.f. = 2, P= 0·01). Regression analysis showed a history of asthma, and the symptom of wheeze, to be predominantly predicted by the degree of bronchial responsiveness (R<sup>2</sup>= 31%), with only a minor independent contribution from the degree of atopy (R<sup>2</sup> a furthur 5%). The genetic or other reasons for the association between bronchial responsiveness and atopy may have importance in understanding the aetiology of allergic asthma. Copyright © 1986, Wiley Blackwell.
