Cancers related to exposure to arsenic at a copper smelter.
OBJECTIVE This is an update of an earlier study on the relation between exposure to arsenic in air and deaths from respiratory cancer. The purpose was to verify earlier findings of a supralinear dose response relation and to examine relations with other cancers, particularly those reported in studies on drinking water. METHODS An earlier study of 2802 men who worked at a copper smelter for a ...
متن کاملCODELCO, Chile Programs Its Copper-Smelting Operations
CODELCO’s Chuquicamata Copper Smelter, located in Chile, must meet an environmental standard established in 2002 that limits the sulfur emissions from the copper-production process. This regulation placed new restrictions on the production process, and consequently the heuristic criteria based on years of operator experience no longer resulted in high production levels. We developed a model to ...
متن کاملStudies of morbidity near a copper smelter.
Children living near a copper smelter in Tacoma, Washington, have been shown to have increased levels of urinary and hair arsenic. Studies of hearing, blood status and school attendance in exposed and nonexposed children failed to detect any differences in these parameters.
متن کاملMortality from Copper Smelter Emissions Circa 1967
Pope et al. (2007) found lowered monthly mortality rates during a 1967–1968 copper smelter strike, coincident with and attributed to widespread reduced airborne sulfate levels. The authors cited three “intervention” studies associating particulate emissions reductions with mortality reductions as supportive. Evidence below suggests that mortality reductions in the study by Pope et al. and “inte...
متن کاملRecirculation of Chilean Copper Smelting Dust with High Arsenic Content to the Smelting Process
Most of the dust generated from the copper smelting process in Chili has been stored after the stabilization by hydrometallurgical process because it contains high concentration of arsenic. However, in recent years, the generation of dust has increased because of degrading the quality of concentrate. In addition, the environmental regulations become stricter. On the other hand, valuable metals ...
