متن کاملCancer Morbidity of Foundry Workers in Korea
Foundry workers are potentially exposed to a number of carcinogens. This study was conducted to describe the cancer incidence associated with employment in small-sized Korean iron foundries and to compare those findings to the Korean population. Cancer morbidity in 208 Korean foundries was analyzed using the Standardized Incidence Ratio (SIR) and Standardized Rate Ratio (SRR). Overall cancer mo...
متن کاملPulmonary fibrosis in non-ferrous foundry workers.
Much has been written about fume fever (brass caster's ague, zinc chills, zinc shakes), and lead poisoning in brass foundries has been dealt with recently by Stalker (1947) and Hamlin and Weber (1947), but the references to pulmonary fibrosis amongst non-ferrous foundry workers are few. Stalker wrote that " the incidence of advanced silicosis has been generally low among [brass] foundrymen ". M...
