Incidence of cancer among vinyl chloride and polyvinyl chloride workers.
The results of a follow up study of the incidence of cancer and the mortality in a cohort of 454 male workers producing vinyl chloride and polyvinyl chloride are presented. The study population was restricted to employees with more than one year's work experience in the study plant between 1950 and 1969 and the cohort was followed up from 1953 to the end of 1979. Twenty three new cases of cance...
متن کاملWorker exposure to vinyl chloride and poly(vinyl chloride).
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) in early 1974 began industrial hygiene studies of vinyl chloride exposed workers. Three VC monomer plants, three VC polymerization plants, and seven PVC fabrication plants were surveyed. V polymerization plant workers and workers in one job category in VC monomer plants were exposed to average levels above 1 ppm. The highest aver...
متن کاملVinyl chloride Toxicological overview
Vinyl chloride is readily and rapidly absorbed via inhalation, ingestion and through the skin At room temperature vinyl chloride is a gas, so inhalation is the major route exposure Following absorption, it is distributed through the body, with the highest concentrations found in the liver and kidneys, followed by the lungs and spleen Vinyl chloride is mainly metabolised in the liver int...

متن کاملToxicity of vinyl chloride and poly(vinyl chloride): a critical review.
In 1974, vinyl chloride (VC) was first reported in the open scientific literature to induce angiosarcoma of the liver both in humans and in animals. Additional research has now demonstrated the carcinogenicity of VC to other organs and at lower concentrations. The target organs for VC now clearly include the liver, brain and the lung, and probably the lymphohematopoietic system. The evidence fo...
