Mortality in asbestos cement workers in Pavia, Italy: A cohort study
ConclusionsThe results of this study are generally consistent with present knowledge. Conversely, our results do not support the hypothesis that pleural malignant mesothelioma risk indefinitely increases after exposure, suggesting instead that the alternative hypothesis of a risk plateau or decrease after a time since first exposure of more than 40 years is more consistent with the observed data.
