Table 1
Estimated lifetime risk of silicosis death for German workers exposed to crystalline silica for 45 years
| Exposure level | Estimated lifetime risk* (per 1000) | |
|---|---|---|
| Latency not considered | Latency considered for 28 years | |
| *Estimation was conducted by using the exposure-response relation given by Mannetje et al and life table of German population in the year 1995. | ||
| 0.05 mg/m3 | 5.3 | 0.7 |
| 0.1 mg/m3 | 11.4 | 1.6 |
