Fig. 5. Relationship between duration of asbestos exposure and maximum pleural plaque length in occupational and environmental asbestos exposure groups, visualized using locally weighted scatterplot smoothing regression fit modeling. Significant correlation was observed between asbestos exposure duration and maximum plaque length in occupational exposure group (p = 0.049) but not in environmental exposure group (p = 0.099).
