The exposed group was selected to exclude subjects with pneumoconioses and ex\u2010smokers and consisted of 77 smokers and 48 never\u2010smokers. Referents were chosen from plants where asbestos had not been in use and restricted to those without X\u2010ray signs of chest disease. The primary type of asbestos used was chrysotile and the general dust level in the two decades 1950\u20131970 seems to have been around 10 mg\/m<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup> while the asbestos fiber concentration averaged 2 fibers\/ml. The mean differences between exposed and referents were statistically significant for forced vital capacity and forced expiratory volume, \u20100.25 and \u20100.30 liters, respectively, after adjustment for age, height, tracheal area, and smoking category. No significant differences were detected between those with and without pleural plaques. Smokers and never\u2010smokers were similarly affected. In conclusion, the group exposed to dust with comparatively low asbestos fiber concentration had a minor impairment of lung function, mainly due to obstructive changes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ajim.4700050504","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,4,15]],"date-time":"2007-04-15T20:16:36Z","timestamp":1176668196000},"page":"359-366","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Decreased lung function in long\u2010term asbestos cement workers: A cross\u2010sectional study"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"Carl\u2010G\u00f6ran","family":"Ohlson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tore","family":"Rydman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lennart","family":"Sundell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lennart","family":"Bodin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christer","family":"Hogstedt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,1,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","first-page":"33","article-title":"Nature, structure and properties of asbestos cement dust","volume":"37","author":"Baeten J","year":"1980","journal-title":"Br J Ind Med"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ajim.4700030105"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_1","first-page":"637","article-title":"Lung function in relation to chest radiographic changes in Quebec asbestos workers.
