Abstract

Questions de causalité dans l'histoire de l'épidémiologie des maladies professionnelles L'épidémiologie des maladies professionnelles plonge ses racines dans la médecine classique. Cependant, elle n'est devenue une discipline quantitative qu'au 20ème siècle, grâce au travail de pionnier d'individus tels que Case, Lloyd et Selikoff, ainsi que des organisations telle que la Division de Santé au Travail du service américain de Santé Publique. Des études sur les ouvriers de l'industrie chimique de la teinture, des mines de charbon, des fonderies ou des mines d'uranium ont été des sources particulièrement importantes d'innovation méthodologique et de développement du raisonnement logique aboutissant ä l'acceptation de relation causale entre des expositions professionnelles et des maladies respiratoires ou le cancer. La collaboration de syndicats professionnels, tels que ceux des ouvriers de la sidérurgie ou travaillant avec l'amiante, a souvent été déterminante pour l'obtention de données essentielles.
