Overall Mortality and Cancer Mortality of Coal Miners: Attempts to Adjust for Healthy Worker Selection Effects
The presumption of a possibly elevated cancer risk in coalminers is based mainly on two hypotheses. Firstly most coalmine dusts include a relevant quartz dust fraction. With a view to the possibly causal relationship between pure quartz dust exposure/ silicosis and lung cancer excess risk it is of interest to investigate whether there exists an elevated lung cancer risk in coalminers. Secondly ...
متن کاملMortality of British coal miners in 1961.
Liddell, F. D. K. (1973). Brit. J. industr. Med., 30, 15-24. Mortality of British coal miners in 1961. In an earlier enquiry, a sizeable proportion of deaths officially ascribed to coalmining occupations was shown to have been in men who had worked in the industry but not in jobs specific to coalmining, or who had left the mines and taken up other employment. This led to overstatement of mortal...
متن کاملCoal dust exposure and mortality from ischemic heart disease among a cohort of U.S. coal miners.
BACKGROUND Particulate exposure from air pollution increases the risk of ischemic heart disease (IHD) mortality. Although coal miners are highly exposed to coal dust particulate, studies of IHD mortality risk among coal miners have had inconsistent results. Previous studies may have been biased by the healthy worker effect. METHODS We examined the dose-response relationship between cumulative...
متن کاملMortality from lung cancer among copper miners.
A cohort mortality study of lung cancer in 7088 copper miners was made from 1 January 1969 to 31 December 1988. There was an excess of deaths from lung cancer in the copper miners. The standardised mortality ratio (SMR) was 147 (p < 0.01). The SMR increased with calendar period. There was a higher risk of deaths from lung cancer in the miners employed in the 1950s. Age at the start of exposure ...
متن کاملMortality from stomach cancer in Ontario miners.
An excess of mortality from stomach cancer has been found in Ontario gold miners (observed (obs) 104, standardised mortality ratio (SMR) 152, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 125-185) and no excess of stomach cancer could be detected in other miners in Ontario (obs 74, SMR 102, 95% CI 80-128). The excess of stomach cancer appeared five to 19 years after the miners began gold mining in Ontario. ...
