title: [Topographical variations of pulmonary and pleural asbestos fiber concentrations in variously exposed subjects].
abstract: The authors study three groups of subjects with different exposures to asbestos dust. The lung content in asbestos fibres is measured by optical and electron microscopy, the latter technique revealing preferential concentration of asbestos fibres in the peripheral zones of the lung, in particular in individuals subject to a moderate degree of professional exposure.
