Abstract:
Lung cancer is associated to numerous occupational exposures, apart from asbestos. Today, the most frequent products observed in France were polycyclic aromatics hydrocarbons, silica, diesel exhaust, radon and some metal salts as chromium, nickel, cadmium, and beryllium. The main occupational exposures were described and tools for the screening of these exposures were proposed. The role of the general practitioner in the occupational diseases claims device is underlined.
