Abstract

Mortality for malignant pleural neoplasms (1980-97) was studied in Broni (Pavia) and in the surrounding area in order to update previous studies indicating a high incidence of pleural mesothelioma, due to the presence of an asbestos-cement factory. Observed mortality for pleural neoplasms was compared to expected figures derived from mortality rates of the population resident in Province of Pavia. A significant increase was found in Broni (SMR 825, CI 95%: 604-1, 100, 46 observed). An increased risk of death from malignant pleural neoplasms was evident in both genders, especially in the most recent years, and in younger age groups; this increase in pleural neoplasm mortality also involves some neighbouring municipalities.
