✦ Synopsis

In order to assess the effect of silicosis on lung function, 61 gold miners with radiological silicosis were compared with 61 controls. Each pair was matched for age, dust exposure, and smoking habits. A full range of lung function tests was performed, and with two exceptions the results showed no significant differences between the two groups. The exceptions are the slope of the alveolar plateau (phase 3) and the closing volume, for which the silicotic cases had significantly higher values. The reason for the higher readings in the silicotic patients remains unexplained.

A case-control study, nested in a cohort of workers under surveillance for silicosis in 1979 or later, was undertaken to assess lung cancer risk in relation to the ILO coding scheme for the pneumoconioses. The subjects of this study are from the 41 matched quartets, consisting of one worker with sil
