High-risk mesothelioma relation to meteorological and geological condition and distance from naturally occurring XXXX .

OBJECTIVES: Very few studies have investigated the incidence and risk of @entity3620 ( @entity3620 ) associated with distinct sources of @entity1355 exposure, especially exposure to naturally occurring @entity1355 (NOA). METHODS: Subjects were @entity3620 , lung, and @entity0 @entity1 who were diagnosed and followed in Diyarbakir Province between 2008 and 2013. The birthplaces of @entity1 were displayed on a geologic map. Geological and meteorological effects on @entity3620 were analyzed by logistic regression. RESULTS: A total of 180 @entity3620 , 368 breast, and 406 @entity2 @entity1 were included. The median distance from birthplace to ophiolites was 6.26  km for @entity3620 , 31.06  km for lung, and 34.31  km for @entity0 (p  <  0.001). The majority of @entity3620 cases were seen within 20  km from NOA areas. The @entity3620 incidence inside of NOA was 1059/100.000, and out of NOA was 397/100.000; this difference was significant (p  =  0.014). The largest concentration of @entity3620 residential areas was within    30   (34 residential areas 36.6  %) of the dominant wind direction. Most @entity3620 @entity1 were found in or near the dominant wind direction, especially in the acute angle defined by the dominant wind direction. @entity3620 incidence was directly proportional to {[area of NOA (km(2))] * [cosine a of wind direction angle]} and was inversely proportional to the square of the distance (R  =  0.291, p  =  0.023). CONCLUSIONS: @entity3620 was higher near NOA and in the downwind direction. @entity3620 incidence and risk were affected by geological and meteorological factors.
