Abstract

Sick leaves were analysed over a period of four years (1980-1983) among the workers from the spinning, carding and knitting mills of an asbestos-textile factory. In these mills high concentrations (much over MAC values) of overall airborne dust and chrysotile particles were established. The highest absenteeism rates among the exposed workers referred to respiratory diseases -99.0-117.4 as compared to 22.9 in the control group. The prevalence of day-leave from work was also highest for respiratory diseases and ranged from 22.5 to 52.5% among the exposed workers compared to 26.5% among the controls.
