Kupezeka kwa asibesitosi woopsa kumapangitsa kuti autoimmunity izikhazikitsidwa, zomwe zikhoza kukhazikitsa maziko a matenda omwe amabwera m'mbuyo mtsogolo monga matenda a rhumum ndi nyamakazi zambiri, malinga ndi kafukufuku wofalitsidwa m'magazini ya January 2005 ya Environmental Health Perspectives (EHP).
Ochita kafukufuku anafufuza anthu 50 a ku Libby, Montana-tawuni yomwe inayipitsidwa ndi asibesitosi-ndipo anapeza kuti ambiri amakhala ndi magulu a antantiantibose m'magazi awo kuposa gulu lolamulira.
Kukhalapo kwa zizindikiro za tizilombo, zomwe zimatchedwa antitinuclear antibodies (ANAs), nthawi zambiri zimapezeka mwa anthu omwe chitetezo chautetezo cha thupi chimatha kusokoneza thupi lawo.
Ofufuza anapeza kuti ANA inkachitika 28.6% mobwerezabwereza m'mabuku a Libby kusiyana ndi olamulira. Kuonjezera apo, anthu omwe anapezeka ndi asibesitosi kwa zaka zoposa zisanu akhala akukhala ndi zikuluzikulu za ANA kusiyana ndi omwe alibe chidziwitso chochepa. Kwa anthu a Libby anayesedwa, 76% anali ndi vuto la mapapu okhudzana ndi asibestosi, ndipo omwe anali ndi matenda akuluakulu a mapapu anali nawo olemera kwambiri a ma autoantibodies.
Pafupifupi mzinda wonse wa Libby unasankhidwa kukhala malo a Superfund National Priorities List mu 2002, pambuyo pa zaka makumi anayi za vermiculite zinayambitsa minda, kusungirako malo, ndi nyumba zambiri, nyumba, ndi katundu mumzindawu ndi amphibole asbesito.
"Powonetsa mgwirizano pakati pa kutayika kwa asibesitosi ndi miyeso ya mayankho aumodzi, phunziroli likuthandizira ndikupereka umboni wina womwe ulipo, monga silika, asbestos ndi wothandizira," olemba olemba analemba.
"Vermiculite yodetsedwa ndi asibesitosi yochokera ku Libby yatumizidwa ndikusinthidwa m'malo ambiri ku United States, ndipo nkhaniyi ikugwiritsidwanso ntchito pazinthu zambiri. Choncho, chiopsezo chachikulu cha umoyo kwa anthu onse ogwira ntchito ndi zachilengedwe, komanso kuzindikira za mgwirizano ndi autoimmunity kungakhudze zofunikira zoyang'anira, kuyesa, ndi chithandizo kwa anthu kapena anthu omwe akudziwika. "
Malingana ndi zotsatira za kafukufuku wochepa kwambiri, ochita kafukufuku akufunitsitsa kupitiriza maphunziro awo a matenda enieni omwe amadzipangitsa okhaokha pakati pa anthu a Libby.
"Kutuluka kwa asibesitosi kwakhala kwanthaŵi yaitali kugwirizanitsidwa ndi khansa , fibrosis, ndi matenda ena, koma kugwirizana pakati pa zizindikiro zapadera za matenda omwe amadzimadzimadzimodzi ndi chiwonetsero cha asbesito ndizofunikira," akutero Dr. Jim Burkhart, sayansi ya sayansi ya EHP.
