18. A study was undertaken to investigate the effect of asbestos exposure on lung cancer among employees at Factory A. In 2016, a group of 35,091 employees who worked at the factory from 1968 to 1994 and had cancer follow-up data available through 2015 were included in the study. Asbestos exposure was defined categorically based on whether the employee worked on site (exposed) or in the management building nearby (unexposed). The incidence rate among those who worked on site was...
A study examined the association between lung cancer and working in an asbestos plant. Although the asbestos plant closed 10 years ago, researchers pulled past employment records to confirm employment. They divided the company employees into two groups: those directly exposed on the production line and those who worked in other areas of the plant, not directly working with asbestos. The researchers then looked at medical records to see if the exposed and unexposed groups were currently diagnosed with lung...
