Preller L et al. – Adjusted for smoking and other confounders, elevated risks were observed for exposure duration and cumulative exposure. Associations with average exposure levels were weaker. Associations were stronger for occupations with an exposure probability of >= 90%. Adjustment for asbestos exposure slightly increased the risk. Results from this prospective population–based cohort study corroborates the classification of crystalline silica as lung carcinogen. Associations could not be explained by smoking or by asbestos exposure.
