肺癌在石棉工人中的发病率很高,石棉与肺癌的关系早在1935年Lunch等就有报告,1955年Doll发表了石棉工人肺癌流行病学调查,继而Selikoff Jacob Newhouse等人进一步证实了石棉与肺癌的联系。如Selikoff发现石棉工人死因中的百分之廿为石棉引起的肺癌;他比较了吸烟的石棉作业工人与不吸烟不接触石棉的普通人群的肺癌死亡率前者比后者高90倍以上。吸烟的石棉作业工人比吸烟但不接触石棉工人的死亡率也要高达5倍以以上。目前认为石棉和吸烟是一种互助促进的致癌原。
The incidence of lung cancer in asbestos workers is very high. The relationship between asbestos and lung cancer was reported as early as 1935, Lunch et al. In 1955, Doll published an epidemiological investigation of lung cancer in asbestos workers. Selikoff Jacob Newhouse et al further confirmed that asbestos Lung cancer. For example, Selikoff found that asbestos workers died of asbestos-induced lung cancer by as much as 20 percent. He compared the former with those who smoked asbestos workers and non-smokers without asbestos more than 90 times more lung cancer deaths. Smoking asbestos workers also have five times as many fatalities as smokers but not asbestos workers. Asbestos and smoking are currently believed to be a mutually reinforcing carcinogen.
