Asbestos fibre dimensions and lung cancer mortality among workers exposed to chrysotile
OBJECTIVES To estimate exposures to asbestos fibres of specific sizes among asbestos textile manufacturing workers exposed to chrysotile using data from transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and to evaluate the extent to which the risk of lung cancer varies with fibre length and diameter. METHODS 3803 workers employed for at least 1 day between 1 January 1950 and 31 December 1973 in any of t...
متن کاملAsbestos fiber dimensions and lung cancer mortality among workers exposed to chrysotile
Objectives: To estimate exposures to asbestos fibers of specific sizes among asbestos textile manufacturing workers exposed to essentially pure chrysotile using data from transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and to evaluate the extent to which the risk of lung cancer varies with fiber length and diameter. Methods: 3803 workers employed for at least 1 day between 1 January 1950 and 31 December...
متن کاملCohort studies on cancer mortality among workers exposed only to chrysotile asbestos: a meta-analysis.
OBJECTIVE To determine whether there was excessive risk of cancer among workers exposed to chrysotile fiber alone by applying a meta-analysis technique. METHODS All data meeting the criteria of cohort studies on cancer mortality among workers exposed only to chrysotile were incorporated into meta-analysis. Pooled standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) and their corresponding 95% confidence inte...
متن کاملCancer mortality among coke oven workers.
The OSHA standard for coke oven emissions, which went into effect in January 1977, sets a permissible exposure limit to coke oven emissions of 150 micrograms/m3 benzene-soluble fraction of total particulate matter (BSFTPM). Review of the epidemiologic evidence for the standard indicates an excess relative risk for lung cancer as high as 16-fold in topside coke oven workers with 15 years of expo...
متن کاملCancer mortality among municipal pest-control workers.
OBJECTIVES This epidemiological study was carried out in order to investigate the hypothesis of a relationship between cancer occurrence and occupational exposure in a population of municipal pest-control workers exposed to a wide range of pesticides and other chemicals. METHODS The study was designed as a mortality historical cohort study. The cohort comprised all subjects ever employed in a...
