[Model for evaluation of occupational mortality related to asbestos (the case of the asbestos industry in France between 1950 and 1980)].
This article presents an evaluation model of the mortality attributed to asbestos occupational exposure. French workers exposed at least ten years between 1950 and 1979 constitute the population studied. Exposure-risk relations are used to estimate mortality from lung cancer, mesothelioma, or asbestosis, and the associated reduction of life expectancy among 76 groups (about 18,500 workers) defined by their level of asbestos exposure. The most important results are presented and discussed as are the main hypotheses regarding historical exposure parameters.
