Mortality and cancer incidence among secondary lead smelter workers.
OBJECTIVES To examine the mortality pattern and the cancer incidence in a cohort of long term smelter workers exposed to lead. METHODS The cohort consists of 664 male lead battery workers, employed for at least three months in 1942-87. From 1969 the values of all blood lead samples repeatedly obtained from these workers every two to three months, have been collected in a database. The expecte...
متن کاملLead and hypertension in a mortality study of lead smelter workers.
Hypertension has been associated with occupational lead exposure (1-3), and may in part be a consequence of renal injury. Excess mortality from cerebrovascular disease (1,4,5) and other forms of hypertensive vascu-lopathy (6), as well as from chronic renal disease (4-7), have been found in previous studies of lead smelter and battery workers. To assess the epidemiology of death potentially asso...
متن کاملMortality and lead exposure: a retrospective cohort study of Swedish smelter workers.
The study is based on the work histories and mortality data for 3832 male workers first employed before 1967 at a copper smelter in northern Sweden and followed up from 1950 to 1981. From the 3832 workers a lead cohort consisting of 437 workers employed for at least three years at sites with considerable lead exposure during 1950-74 was selected. These workers had regularly had blood lead measu...
متن کاملMortality of lead smelter workers with the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase-deficient phenotype.
The mortality experience of 1345 male workers in a lead and zinc smelting plant was followed from 1973 to 1991. Information on the erythrocyte glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) phenotype was available for 1,222 (90.9%) cohort members, which provided the opportunity to compare the mortality experience of G6PD-deficient subjects to wild-type-G6PD coworkers with similar exposure to lead. A ...
متن کاملKidney effects in long term exposed lead smelter workers.
Occupational exposure to lead may cause kidney damage. This study was carried out on a cohort of 70 active and 30 retired long term exposed lead smelter workers. Their kidney function was compared with 31 active and 10 retired truck assembly workers who had no occupational exposure to lead. The lead workers had been regularly followed up with measurements of lead concentration in blood since 19...
