This study evaluated mortality patterns among workers at a plant that made atrazine and other triazine herbicides. The study covered the time period 1970-1997 and include...
متن کاملEvaluation of mortality and cancer incidence among alachlor manufacturing workers.
Alachlor is the active ingredient in a family of preemergence herbicides. We assessed mortality rates from 1968 to 1993 and cancer incidence rates from 1969 to 1993 for manufacturing workers with potential alachlor exposure. For workers judged to have high alachlor exposure, mortality from all causes combined was lower than expected [23 observed, standardized mortality ratio (SMR) = 0.7, 95% CI...
متن کاملMortality and cancer incidence among alachlor manufacturing workers 1968-99.
BACKGROUND Alachlor is the active ingredient in pre-emergent herbicide formulations that have been used widely on corn, soybeans, and other crops. It has been found to cause nasal, stomach, and thyroid tumours in rodent feeding studies at levels that are much higher than likely human exposures. AIMS To evaluate mortality rates from 1968 to 1999 and cancer incidence rates from 1969 to 1999 for...
متن کاملMortality among migrant tunnel workers.
To clarify the mortality pattern of migrant tunnel workers, a retrospective cohort study was conducted in the southern part of Oita Prefecture, which is well known as a source area for tunnel workers. This study was made on 1,078 tunnel workers and 943 non-tunnel workers who were observed for 8 years and 6 months from January 1975 to June 1983. The overall SMR of tunnel workers was 162 which wa...
