Article Synopsis
- * The cumulative exposure levels to chrysotile were measured, with most workers being young males, and the inhalation levels ranged widely, with a median exposure of 0.0018 f/mL.years.
- * Findings revealed a low prevalence of cough (11.7%) and an even lower lung cancer mortality risk (less than 1%), suggesting that the workers faced minimal cancer risks due to their lower exposure levels.*
