A recent study was conducted to compare the airway dysfunction as well as impairment between smokers as well as non-smokers who were exposed to asbestos. Test subjects included 277 workers exposed to chrysotile asbestos with 22% non-smokers as well as unexposed controls with 50.3% non-smokers. Pulmonary function test results were compared for each group. The test concluded that asbestos exposure, especially when asbestosis is already developed, leads to significant decreases in FVC, FEV1 as well as especially DLCO in smokers. More testing is required to determine exactly how asbestos exposure interacts with smoking to increase the risk of disease. For the filled story, go to 7th Space Interactive. |
