increased suicide risk among workers following toxic metal exposure at the paducah gaseous diffusion plant from 1952 to 2003: a cohort study
background: suicide is a problem worldwide and occupation is an important risk factor. in the last decade, 55 200 deaths in the us were attributed to occupational risk factors. objective: to determine if toxic metal exposure was associated with suicide risk among paducah gaseous diffusion plant (pgdp) workers. methods: we assembled a cohort of 6820 nuclear industry workers employed from 1952 to...
متن کاملOccupational exposure to trichloroethylene and cancer risk for workers at the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant.
OBJECTIVE The Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant (PGDP) became operational in 1952; it is located in the western part of Kentucky. We conducted a mortality study for adverse health effects that workers may have suffered while working at the plant, including exposures to chemicals. MATERIALS AND METHODS We studied a cohort of 6820 workers at the PGDP for the period 1953 to 2003; there were a tota...

متن کاملCancer risk in nuclear workers occupationally exposed to uranium-emphasis on internal exposure.
Workers involved in the nuclear fuel cycle have a potential for internal exposure to uranium. The present review of epidemiological studies of these workers aims to elucidate the relationship between occupational internal uranium exposure and cancer risk. Eighteen cohort and 5 nested case-control studies published since 1980 are reviewed. Workers occupationally exposed to uranium appear to be a...
متن کاملAnalysis of mortality in a pooled cohort of Canadian and German uranium processing workers with no mining experience
PURPOSE Long-term health risks of occupational exposures to uranium processing were examined to better understand potential differences with uranium underground miners and nuclear reactor workers. METHODS A cohort study of mortality of workers from Port Hope, Canada (1950-1999) and Wismut, Germany (1946-2008) employed in uranium milling, refining, and processing was conducted. Poisson regress...
