Lung-cancer mortality among Vermont granite workers: factors influencing exposure–response evaluation
OBJECTIVE To understand why 2 studies relating crystalline silica exposure to lung-cancer mortality in Vermont granite workers yielded conflicting results. METHODS Data used in the 2 studies were linked to identify discrepancies. Mortality data and employment histories from the earlier study were revised based on data obtained in the later study. SMR were computed and Poisson regressions corr...
متن کاملCancer mortality of cadmium workers.
Several epidemiological studies of workers exposed to cadmium indicate an increased risk of lung and prostatic cancer. The increase is statistically significant in some of the studies but the SMR is greater than 100 in almost all. A cohort study of the mortality among 522 Swedish workers exposed to cadmium for at least one year in a nickel-cadmium battery plant support the earlier findings. The...
متن کاملSilicosis in West Country Granite Workers.
The granite industry in Cornwall and Devon is briefly described, especially the production of dust in dressing the stone. In 1951, 210 granite masons were examined (about 84% of the total at that time) and 37 (17 6%) showed silicosis. These men were followed up for 10 years. No silicosis was seen in men with less than 15 years' exposure, but after this time the risk increased to 11 out of 14 in...
متن کاملMortality in Vermont granite workers and its association with silica exposure
OBJECTIVES To assess mortality in Vermont granite workers and examine relationships between silica exposure and mortality from lung cancer, kidney cancer, non-malignant kidney disease, silicosis and other non-malignant respiratory disease. Methods Workers employed between 1947 and 1998 were identified. Exposures were estimated using a job-exposure matrix. Mortality was assessed through 2004 and...
متن کاملMortality from lung cancer in asbestos workers.
on personal examination, found lung cancer in 14*1% of necropsies on subjects with asbestosis (17 out of 121) against 6.9% in silicotics (55 out of 796). Neither author gave full details of the sex composition of the groups examined, but since women form a higher proportion of asbestos workers than of persons employed in occupations liable to give rise to silicosis (coal-miners, stonemasons, po...
