8 PREMISE Notwithstanding the overwhelming scientific evidence of asbestos carcinogenicity, this agent is still largely used in the world. The Italian experience shows that in the process that lead to prohibition of asbestos use, a major role was played by studies documenting the health impact of asbestos in Italy Neoplasms causally associated with asbestos: mesothelioma of pleura, peritoneum, pericardium, and tunica vaginalis testis and cancer of the lung, larynx, and ovary. The number of mesothelioma cases within a population can be estimated: -directly from: mortality data, if reliable, or from pathology registries, where available - indirectly: from data on asbestos consumption Contrary to mesothelioma, the etiology of pulmonary, laryngeal, and ovarian cancers is multifactorial Population Attributable Fraction (PAF): the proportion of cases which would be prevented if exposure to asbestos was eliminated Limited to lung cancer, PAF can also be estimated using a reasonable ratio between mesothelioma and occupational lung cancer cases.
9
10 PAF PAF= ((Pi*RRi)-1)/ Pi*RRi) Piis the proportion of the exposed population in the exposure category i RRiis the risk for the disease in the exposure category irelative to the risk in the reference exposure category (i.e. the population not exposed) Driscoll et al. Occupational carcinogens: assessing the environmental burden of disease at regional and local levels. Geneva, WHO 2004 (Environmental Burden of Disease Series, N 6)
11 INFORMATION NEEDED TO COMPUTE PAFs a) proportion of the workforce employed in each sector b) proportion of workers exposed to asbestos in each sector c) occupational turnover d) levels of exposure e) proportion of the population in the workforce f) relative risk for each considered disease for different levels of exposure (when available)
12 Relative risk for asbestos related cancers other than mesothelioma site High exposures Low exposures Whatever exposure RR LCI * UCI** RR UCI* UCI* * lung RR UCI* UCI* * larynx ovary Goodman et al IOM Camargo et al *Confidence interval lower limit **Confidence interval - upper limit

14 DISCUSSION & CONCLUDING REMARKS Inter-country differences in the reliability of the background statistics. The peculiarity of the estimates in Brazil might reflect the limited use of amphiboles Two conclusions : - Urgent need for remediation of asbestos contamination and a national asbestos ban - Improvement in the quality of asbestos-related environmental and health data The estimates are exploratory. They intend to stimulate the construction of local databases regarding the extent to which asbestos is or has been present in the occupational environment In each economic sector, prevalence of exposure may be specific in Latin American countries andmay have been different form the ones in Western European countries in the Nineties Estimates of the PAFs need more precise data on the proportion of workers exposed to asbestos in each productive sector, on the occupational turnover, and on levels of exposure
