    Compensation, radiographic changes, and survival in applicants for asbestosis compensation.

    , Br J Ind Med, Vol: 42, Pages: 461-468, ISSN: 0007-1072

    The survival of 354 claimants for compensation for pulmonary asbestosis among former workers of the Wittenoom crocidolite mine and mill in Western Australia has been examined. There were 118 deaths up to December 1982. The median time between start of work and claim for compensation was 17 years. The standardised mortality ratio (SMR) for deaths from all causes was 2.65 (p less than 0.0001). The SMR for pneumoconiosis was 177.2 (p less than 0.0001), bronchitis and emphysema 2.6 (p = 0.04), tuberculosis 44.6 (p less than 0.0001), respiratory cancer (including five deaths from malignant pleural mesothelioma) 6.4 (p less than 0.0001), gastrointestinal cancer 1.6 (p = 0.22), all other cancers 1.6 (p = 0.17), heart disease 1.4 (p = 0.07), and all other causes 2.18 (p = 0.004). Plain chest radiographs taken within two years of claiming compensation were found for 238 subjects and were categorised independently by two observers according to the International Labour Organisation criteria without knowledge of exposure or compensation details. Profusion of radiographic opacities, age at claiming compensation, work in the Wittenoom mill, and degree of disability awarded by the pneumoconiosis medical board were significant predictors of survival, but total estimated exposure to asbestos was not. Radiographic profusion and degree of disability were, however, predictable by total exposure. The median survival from claim for compensation was 17 years in subjects with ILO category 1 pneumoconiosis, 12 years in category 2, and three years in category 3.

    Allergy and nonallergic bronchial reactivity as determinants of work-related respiratory symptoms in seasonal grain handlers

    , Chest, Vol: 87, ISSN: 0012-3692

    The authors studied a group of subjects with little or no previous grain dust exposure before and after a short period of grain handling work. The results suggest that preemployment atopy and increased bronchial reactivity are associated with an increased frequency of respiratory symptoms on exposure to grain dust. Second, preemployment history, allergy skin test response, and level of bronchial reactivity may be useful predictors of work-related symptoms. This supports the possibility that symptoms, particularly wheeze and dyspnea, that begin soon after starting work may respresent allergen-induced asthma. The weaker association with cough suggests that it may reflect a different mechanism.
