Occupational respiratory disease in the United Kindom 1989 : a report to the British Thoracic Society and the Society of Occupational Medicine by the SWORD project group / S.K. Meredith, V.M. Taylor; J.C. McDonald

Sumario: A voluntary scheme for the surveillance of work related and occupational respiratory disease (SWORD) was established in January 1989 with help from the British Thoracic Society (BTS) and the Society of Occupational Medicine and support from the Health and Safety Executive. This scheme include investigation of agents newly suspected of causing asthma, bronchitis, allergic alveolitis, inhalation accidents, and lung cancer, as well as broader questions such as the effect of smoking and the time since first exposure on the development of asthma, the role of agents other than asbestos in mesothelioma, and the subsequent health and employment experience of patients with work related respiratory disease
