Asbestos: use, bans and disease burden in Europe.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:To analyse national data on asbestos use and related diseases in the European Region of the World Health Organization (WHO). METHODS:For each of the 53 countries, per capita asbestos use (kg/capita/year) and age-adjusted mortality rates (deaths/million persons/year) due to mesothelioma and asbestosis were calculated using the databases of the United States Geological Survey and WHO, respectively. Countries were further categorized by ban status: early-ban (ban adopted by 2000, n = 17), late-ban (ban adopted 2001-2013, n = 17), and no-ban (n = 19). FINDINGS:Between 1920-2012, the highest per capita asbestos use was found in the no-ban group. After 2000, early-ban and late-ban groups reduced their asbestos use levels to less than or equal to 0.1 kg/capita/year, respectively, while the no-ban group maintained a very high use at 2.2 kg/capita/year. Between 1994 and 2010, the European Region registered 106,180 deaths from mesothelioma and asbestosis, accounting for 60% of such deaths worldwide. In the early-ban and late-ban groups, 16/17 and 15/17 countries, respectively, reported mesothelioma data to WHO, while only 6/19 countries in the no-ban group reported such data. The age-adjusted mortality rates for mesothelioma for the early-ban, late-ban and no-ban groups were 9.4, 3.7 and 3.2 deaths/million persons/year, respectively. Asbestosis rates for the groups were 0.8, 0.9 and 1.5 deaths/million persons/year, respectively. CONCLUSION:Within the European Region, the early-ban countries reported most of the current asbestos-related deaths. However, this might shift to the no-ban countries, since the disease burden will likely increase in these countries due the heavy use of asbestos. OBJECTIF:Analyser les données nationales sur l'utilisation de l'amiante et les maladies qui y sont associées, dans la région européenne de l'Organisation mondiale de la Santé (OMS). MÉTHODES:Pour chacun des 53 pays, l'utilisation de l'amiante par habitant (kg/habitant/an) et les taux de mortalité selon l'âge (décès/millions de personnes/an) dus au mésothéliome et à l'asbestose ont été calculés en utilisant les bases de données de l'USGS (United States Geological Survey) et de l'OMS, respectivement. Les pays ont ensuite été classés en fonction de leur statut d'interdiction: interdiction précoce (interdiction adoptée avant 2000, n = 17), interdiction tardive (interdiction adoptée entre 2001–2013, n = 17) et aucune interdiction (n = 19). RÉSULTATS:Entre 1920 et 2012, l'utilisation la plus élevée d'amiante par habitant a été trouvée dans le groupe sans aucune interdiction. Après 2000, les groupes à interdiction précoce et à interdiction tardive ont réduit leurs niveaux d'utilisation de l'amiante à un niveau inférieur ou égal à 0,1 kg/habitant/an, respectivement, tandis que le groupe sans aucune interdiction a maintenu une utilisation très élevée de 2,2 kg/habitant/an. Entre 1994 et 2010, la région européenne a déclaré 106 180 décès causés par le mésothéliome et l'asbestose, représentant 60% de ces causes de décès dans le monde. Dans les groupes à interdiction précoce et à interdiction tardive, 16/17 et 15/17 pays, respectivement, ont fourni des données relatives au mésothéliome à l'OMS, alors que seuls 6/19 pays dans le groupe sans aucune interdiction ont fourni de telles données. Les taux de mortalité selon l'âge du mésothéliome pour les groupes à interdiction précoce, à interdiction tardive et sans aucune interdiction étaient de 9,4, 3,7 et 3,2 décès/million de personnes/an, respectivement. Les taux d'asbestose des mêmes groupes étaient de 0,8, 0,9 et 1,5 décès/million de personnes/an, respectivement. CONCLUSION:Au sein de la région européenne, les pays à interdiction précoce ont signalé la plupart des décès actuels liés à l'asbestose. Cependant, cela pourrait se déplacer vers les pays sans aucune interdiction, puisque la charge de morbidité augmentera probablement dans ces pays en raison de leur utilisation importante de l'amiante. OBJETIVO:Analizar los datos nacionales sobre el uso del amianto y las enfermedades relacionadas a este en la región europea de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS). MÉTODOS:Para cada uno de los 53 países, se calculó el uso del amianto por cápita (kg/cápita/año) y las tasas de mortalidad ajustadas por edad (muertes/millón de personas/año) causadas por mesotelioma y asbestosis a través de, respectivamente, las bases de datos de la Encuesta Geológica de los Estados Unidos y la OMS. Además, los países se clasificaron según el estado de prohibición: prohibición temprana (prohibición adoptada en el año 2000, n = 17), prohibición tardía (prohibición adoptada entre 2001–2013, n = 17) y sin prohibición (n = 19). RESULTADOS:El grupo sin prohibición presentó el mayor uso de amianto por cápita entre 1920–2012. A partir del año 2000, los grupos con prohibiciones tempranas y tardías redujeron sus niveles de uso de amianto a menos de o igual a 0,1 kg/cápita/año, respectivamente, mientras que el grupo sin prohibición mantuvo un uso muy elevado de 2,2 kg/cápita/año. Entre 1994 y 2010, la Región de Europa registró 106 180 muertes por mesotelioma y asbestosis, lo que representa el 60 % de este tipo de muertes en todo el mundo. Los grupos con prohibiciones tempranas y tardías, 16/17 y 15/17 países respectivamente, comunicaron los datos de mesotelioma a la OMS, mientras que solo 6/19 países del grupo sin prohibición facilitaron dicha información. Las tasas de mortalidad ajustadas por edad para el mesotelioma en los países con prohibiciones tempranas y tardías y sin prohibición fueron de 9,4, 3,7 y 3,2 muertes/millón de personas/año, respectivamente, y las tasas de asbestosis, de 0,8, 0,9 y 1,5 muertes/millón de personas/año, respectivamente. CONCLUSIÓN:En la Región de Europa, los países con la prohibición temprana notificaron el mayor número de las muertes actuales relacionadas con el amianto. Sin embargo, esto podría cambiar a los países sin prohibición, ya que es probable que la carga de la enfermedad aumente en dichos países debido al gran uso de amianto. الغرض:تحليل البيانات الوطنية بشأن استخدام الحرير الصخري (الأسبستوس) والأمراض ذات الصلة في الإقليم الأوروبي لمنظمة الصحة العالمية. الطريقة:في كل بلد من البلدان الثلاثة والخمسين، تم حساب نصيب الفرد من استخدام الحرير الصخري (الأسبستوس) (كلغ/فرد/سنة) ومعدلات الوفيات المصححة باحتساب العمر (وفاة/مليون نسمة/سنة) الناجمة عن ورم المتوسطة وداء الأسبستوس، باستخدام قواعد بيانات المسح الجيولوجي للولايات المتحدة ومنظمة الصحة العالمية، على التوالي. وتم تصنيف البلدان بعد ذلك حسب حالة الحظر: الحظر المبكر (الحظر الذي تم اعتماده بحلول عام 2000، العدد = 17)، الحظر المتأخر (الحظر الذي تم اعتماده في الفترة من 2001 إلى 2013، العدد = 17)، وعدم الحظر (العدد = 19). النتائج:بين عامي 1920 و2012، تبين وجود أعلى نصيب للفرد من استخدام الحرير الصخري (الأسبستوس) في مجموعة عدم الحظر. وبعد عام 2000، قللت مجموعتا الحظر المبكر والحظر المتأخر مستويات استخدامهما للحرير الصخري (الأسبستوس) إلى أقل من أو يساوي 0.1 كلغ/فرد/سنة، على التوالي، بينما حافظت مجموعة عدم الحظر على استخدام عال جداً بمعدل 2.2 كلغ/فرد/سنة. وبين عامي 1994 و2010، سجل الإقليم الأوروبي 106180 حالة وفاة ناجمة عن ورم المتوسطة وداء الأسبستوس، وهو يمثل 60 % من حالات الوفاة على الصعيد العالمي. وقام 16 من بين 17 بلداً و15 من بين 17 بلداً على التوالي في مجموعتي الحظر المبكر والحظر المتأخر بالإبلاغ عن بيانات ورم المتوسطة إلى منظمة الصحة العالمية في حين لم يقم بالإبلاغ عن هذه البيانات إلا 6 من بين 19 بلداً في مجموعة عدم الحظر. وكانت معدلات الوفيات المصححة بحسب العمر في ورم المتوسطة بالنسبة لمجموعات الحظر المبكر والحظر المتأخر وعدم الحظر 9.4 و3.7 و3.2 وفاة/مليون نسمة/سنة، على التوالي. وكانت معدلات داء الأسبستوس لدى المجموعات 0.8 و0.9 و1.5 وفاة/مليون نسمة/سنة، على التوالي. الاستنتاج:أبلغت بلدان الحظر المبكر داخل الإقليم الأوروبي عن معظم حالات الوفاة الراهنة ذات الصلة بالحرير الصخري (الأسبستوس). إلا أنه من المحتمل أن يتحول هذا الأمر إلى بلدان عدم الحظر، حيث يرجح ازدياد عبء المرض في هذه البلدان بسبب استخدام الحرير الصخري (الأسبستوس) على نحو كثيف. 目的:分析世界卫生组织(WHO)欧洲地区有关石棉使用国家数据和相关疾病。 方法:对于53个国家中的每个国家,分别使用美国地质调查局和WHO的数据库计算人均石棉使用(公斤/人/年)以及间皮瘤和石棉肺年龄调整死亡率(例死亡/百万人/年)。按禁令状态将国家进一步分类:较早禁用(2000年之前禁止,n = 17),较晚禁用(2001–2013年禁止,n = 17),和未禁用(n = 19)。 结果:在1920–2012年之间,在未禁用组中发现人均石棉使用量最高。2000年之后,较早禁用和较晚禁用组石棉用量水平有所减少,分别降至小于或等于0.1公斤/人/年,而未禁用组保持着非常高的使用量,为2.2公斤/人/年。从1994年到2010年,欧洲区域登记106 180人死于间皮瘤和石棉肺,占全球同类死亡人数的60%。在较早禁用和较晚禁用组中,16/17和15/17个国家分别向WHO报告间皮瘤数据,而未禁用组中只有6/19的国家公布这些数据。较早禁用、较晚禁用和未禁用组间皮瘤年龄调整死亡率分别为9.4、3.7和3.2例死亡/百万人/年。各个组的石棉肺死亡率分别为0.8、0.9和1.5例死亡/百万人/年。 结论:在欧洲地区,较早禁用国家是当前石棉相关的死亡大多数案例的报告来源。然而,这种情况可能转移到未禁用国家,因为这些国家的疾病负担可能会由于大量使用石棉而增加 Цель:Проанализировать национальные данные Всемирной организации здравоохранения (ВОЗ) об использовании асбеста и связанных с ним заболеваний в Европейском регионе. Методы:Для каждой из 53 стран были рассчитаны уровни использования асбеста на душу населения (кг/на душу населения/год) и смертности, скорректированной по возрасту (смертей/млн человек/год), от мезотелиомы и асбестоза, используя базы данных Геологической службы США и ВОЗ соответственно. Далее страны были дополнительно классифицированы по статусу принятия запрета на использование асбеста: ранний запрет (принятый к 2000 г., n = 17), поздний запрет (принятый между 2001—2013 гг., n = 17) и отсутствие запрета (n = 19). Результаты:За период 1920—2012 гг. самый высокий уровень использования асбеста на душу населения был зафиксирован в группе стран, где запрет отсутствует. После 2000 года страны с ранним и поздним принятием запрета сократили свои уровни использования асбеста до 0,1 кг/чел/год, в то время как в группе стран, не имеющих запрета, сохранялся очень высокий уровень использования, равный 2,2 кг/чел/год. В период с 1994 по 2010 гг. в Европейском регионе было зарегистрировано 106 180 смертей от мезотелиомы и асбестоза, что составляет 60% от таких смертей в мире. В группе стран с ранним и поздним запретом 16 из 17 и 15 из 17 стран, соответственно, сообщили в ВОЗ данные о заболеваемости мезотелиомой, в то время как в группе, не имеющей запрета, только 6 из 19 стран сообщили такие данные. Показатели смертности от мезотелиомы, скорректированные по возрасту, среди стран с ранним запретом, поздним запретом и отсутствием такового составили 9,4, 3,7 и 3,2 смертей/млн. человек/год соответственно. Уровни асбестоза для этих групп составили 0,8, 0,9 и 1,5 смертей/млн. человек/год соответственно. Вывод:В Европейском регионе страны с ранним запретом сообщили о большинстве смертей, связанных с асбестом. Подобные показатели, тем не менее, могут распространиться на группу стран с отсутствием запрета, так как, вероятно, что в связи с интенсивным использованием асбеста бремя болезней в этих странах увеличится.
