摘要:

AbstractAnalysis of data obtained by linking the 1960 Swedish Census and the Swedish Cancer Registry has demonstrated an increased risk of pleural mesothelioma among pulp and paper workers. The present study was undertaken with the aim of revealing possible environmental risk factors. The work histories of the 25 cases identified earlier were reviewed. “Certain” or “probable” exposure to asbestos was found among 70% of these workers. The study illustrates how linkage of official registers can be used to identify new risk environments and encourage the establishment of preventive m

摘要:

AbstractRecent studies identify digestive cancer excesses among workers exposed to cutting fluids, abrasive dusts, and oil smoke. Standardized proportional mortality and mortality odds ratio studies were carried out for a ball bearing plant. Cause of death and work histories were obtained for 702 of 768 hourly employees with ten or more years service who died between 1969 and 1982. Union and company records were used to define exposure measures. The major findings were significant excesses in proportional mortality ratios (PMR) from stomach cancer (PMR = 2.0) and rectal cancer (PMR = 3.1) among white men. After control for age at death, there was a significant association between stomach cancer and precision grinding exposures, consisting primarily of direct contact with water‐based cutting fluids (usually emulsified oils) and their aerosols. Some straight oils and synthetic cutting fluids were used as well. The pattern of stomach cancer is consistent with previous findings and suggests an association with the soluble oil cutting fluid

摘要:

AbstractA nationwide system for monitoring occupational exposure to a wide range of carcinogens has been in operation in Finland since 1979. The primary aim of the system is to lead to the identification, evaluation, and eventual elimination of the exposures. The number of exposed workers reported to the register was about 20,000 out of the work force of 2.3 million in 1979–1984. The most common exposures were chromates, nickel and its inorganic compounds, and asbestos. Data are presented to show that the system has been at least partially successful in decreasing exposures at work places. As an example, we discuss the decrease in the use of hydrazine, which was previously widely used as an anticorrosive agent at power plants. The statistical quality of the system is discussed, and possibilities for future research uses of the computerized data base are outline

摘要:

AbstractThe published literature on occupational mortality studies seldom describes the manner in which cohorts were assembled and efforts made to ensure that all, or nearly all, eligible persons had been enumerated. Researchers must struggle unassisted through a morass of plant records, often not knowing how to utilize important sources of information to the fullest extent. This paper describes the identification of a cohort of over 8,700 foundry workers and the verification of its completeness using existing plant data sources. By understanding the techniques for manipulating data sources in this investigation, researchers may gain insight into the use of materials available to them.
