Résumé
Previous studies have inconsistently reported associations between Refractory Ceramic Fibers (RCF) or Mineral Wool Fibers (MWF) and the presence of pleural plaques (PP). Moreover, all these studies were based on Chest X-Ray, known to be associated with a poor sensitivity for the diagnosis of PP.
