TL;DR: Preliminary evidence that workers in heavy vehicle BRSs could be at excessive risk of developing asbestos-related diseases is provided.

TL;DR: The presence of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in biological and environmental samples has been studied for decades in many countries, but studies in Latin American countries like Colombia have been scarce, and Colombia ranks fourth from bottom to top in terms of 4,4' DDE average concentrations.
