Mortality in retired coke oven plant workers.
A previous study on 536 retired coke oven plant workers in Lorraine Collieries (France) reported an excess of deaths from lung cancer (standardised mortality ratio (SMR) = 251) compared with the French male population. Occupational exposures during working life were retraced for each subject, but the number of deaths during the observation period (1963-82) was small, and smoking habits were kno...
متن کاملCancer mortality among coke oven workers.
The OSHA standard for coke oven emissions, which went into effect in January 1977, sets a permissible exposure limit to coke oven emissions of 150 micrograms/m3 benzene-soluble fraction of total particulate matter (BSFTPM). Review of the epidemiologic evidence for the standard indicates an excess relative risk for lung cancer as high as 16-fold in topside coke oven workers with 15 years of expo...
متن کاملEffects of coke oven emissions and benzo[a]pyrene on blood pressure and electrocardiogram in coke oven workers
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of occupational exposures to coke oven emissions (COEs) and benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) on the prevalence of hypertension and abnormal electrocardiogram (ECG) in coke oven workers. METHODS We included 880 coke oven workers and 710 oxygen employees in the exposed and control groups, respectively. Blood pressure (BP), ECG, blood lipid levels, and glucose levels of a...
متن کاملRelationship of exposure to coke-oven emissions and urinary metabolites of benzo(a)pyrene and pyrene in coke-oven workers.
Coke-oven workers are occupationally exposed to a high concentration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). r-7,t-8,9,c-10-Tetrahydroxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo(a)pyrene (trans-anti-BaP-tetraol) and 1-hydroxypyrene (1-OHP) are urinary metabolites of benzo(a)pyrene and pyrene, respectively. In this study, we investigated the relationship among individual air exposure to benzene soluble fract...
متن کاملOperating-State-Based Intelligent Control of Combustion Process of Coke Oven
This paper describes a hierarchical intelligent integrated control method for controlling the combustion process in a coke oven. A key feature is the determination of the operating state of the oven from an analysis of the characteristics of the process. The system contains three layers: a decision layer, a temperature optimization and control layer, and a process control layer. An information ...
