The authors describe 19 cases of definite or highly probable asbestosis which were observed among unselected out-patients at a hospital in the industrial area of the "Basse-Sambre". These cases were of various types and were, almost exclusively, of occupational origin. The variety and severity of the asbestosis in many of the cases justify a more thorough survey in this area. Those people who have handled and inhaled asbestos fibres at work will be examined in the first place. A radiological pulmonary survey will also be organized among the people living in the neighbourhood of factories using asbestos. Precise information about the origin, quality and characteristics of the inhaled dust as well as the intensity and duration of exposure will be obtained. Cases discovered in the survey will be investigated systematically by means of an extensive range of techniques: frontal and oblique X-rays with an appropriate kilovoltage for the detection of pleural calcifications and of the reticular thickening of the parenchyma; spirometry and measurement of the transfer factor for CO; arterial blood gases at rest and during exercise; search for ferruginous bodies in sputum; pathological studies of pulmonary and pleural tissues and of the ultrastructure of pleural tumours.
