Emphysema findings associated with heavy asbestos-exposure in high resolution computed tomography of finnish construction workers.
TL;DR: Emphysema was more common when workers had asbestosis or were heavily exposed to asbestos (insulators), but due to confounding factors the causative role of asbestos in emphysem needs further study.

TL;DR: The extent of 45 cm2 and the degree of calcification were helpful in discriminating between pleural changes in workers with occupational disease, and those in controls who also presented marked pleural pathology.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the most important factor determining the degree of functional impairment in smoking asbestos-exposed workers is the presence of pulmonary emphysema.

Smoking and exposure to tobacco smoke at medium-sized and large-scale workplaces.
TL;DR: Non-smokers complained more often than the regular smokers about the spreading of tobacco smoke to non-smoking areas, and they felt that workplace smoking was a significant discomfort.

TL;DR: FISH did not significantly exceed the sensitivity of sputum cytology in finding lung cancers and more sensitive methods are needed for the follow-up of populations at high risk of contracting lung cancer.
