This project will extend the follow-up of large, well established groups of people who have experienced significant exposure to blue asbestos, either through their jobs or environmentally. Mesothelioma, lung cancer and asbestosis are common among these groups. This study will provide information on the effects of different levels of exposure to blue asbestos. Ways in which these diseases may be prevented through the diet and other lifestyle habits will be closely examined. This project provides important data on the dose-response effects of a known carcinogen. Due to the integrated nature of our already established follow up systems we are in a unique position worldwide to achieve these aims. The dose response relationships between exposure and disease identified by this study will contribute to occupational health and safety exposure standards and compensation policy in Australia. The information on lifestyle factors is appropriate for use in many different health promotion interventions. Ongoing contact with the cohorts is critical to our involvement in collaborative preventative and biological studies.

该项目将扩大对因工作或环境而大量接触蓝石棉的大型、成熟群体的后续行动。间皮瘤、肺癌和石棉肺在这些人群中很常见。这项研究将提供关于不同程度接触蓝石棉的影响的信息。通过饮食和其他生活习惯预防这些疾病的方法将得到密切研究。该项目提供了关于已知致癌物的剂量反应效应的重要数据。由于我们已经建立的后续系统的综合性质，我们在全球范围内处于实现这些目标的独特地位。本研究确定的暴露与疾病之间的剂量反应关系将有助于澳大利亚职业健康和安全暴露标准和补偿政策。关于生活方式因素的信息适用于许多不同的健康促进干预措施。与队列的持续接触对我们参与合作预防和生物学研究至关重要。
