Cardiovascular effects of occupational exposure to carbon disulphide.
The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of occupational exposure to carbon disulphide (CS2) on the total cholesterol, blood pressure and prevalence of coronary heart disease (CHD). A cross-sectional study involving 252 viscose rayon workers and 252 age and sex matched controls was carried out. Depending on the job and specific work place, the CS2 concentrations were between 10...
متن کاملExposure to carbon disulphide and ischaemic heart disease in a viscose rayon factory.
The cohort of viscose rayon workers previously described by Tiller et al has been reconstructed and followed up to the end of 1982. The pattern of mortality at ages 45 to 64 for the extended period 1950-82 is similar to that described by Tiller et al for 1950-64. The spinners, the workers most heavily exposed to carbon disulphide, have a significantly higher mortality from all causes than the l...
متن کاملA follow-up study of coronary heart disease in viscose rayon workers exposed to carbon disulphide.
In 1967 two cohorts of 343 men each were formed and matched with respect to age, district of birth, and similarity of work. One cohort comprised viscose rayon workers with at least five years' exposure to carbon disulphide during any period between 1942 and 1967, and the other cohort consisted of workers from a paper-mill with no such exposure. The concentrations of carbon disulphide and hydrog...
متن کاملFactors predictive of ischemic heart disease mortality in foundry workers exposed to carbon monoxide.
The potential predictors of ischemic heart disease mortality were studied for 931 male foundry workers in Finland who participated in a health examination in 1973. These workers were followed up to 1993 through registers and by using a questionnaire. In 1973, the systolic and diastolic blood pressures of workers exposed to carbon monoxide (CO) were slightly higher than those of unexposed worker...
متن کاملCoronary artery disease and cancer mortality in a cohort of workers exposed to vinyl chloride, carbon disulfide, rotating shift work, and o-toluidine at a chemical manufacturing plant.
BACKGROUND We updated through 2007 the mortality experience of 1,874 workers employed at a New York State chemical manufacturing plant between 1946 and 2006. METHODS Reassessed exposures to vinyl chloride, carbon disulfide, and shift work and categories of o-toluidine exposure were based on year, department and job title. Standardized mortality ratios (SMR) compared mortality to that of the U...
