Worker exposure to vinyl chloride and poly(vinyl chloride).
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) in early 1974 began industrial hygiene studies of vinyl chloride exposed workers. Three VC monomer plants, three VC polymerization plants, and seven PVC fabrication plants were surveyed. V polymerization plant workers and workers in one job category in VC monomer plants were exposed to average levels above 1 ppm. The highest aver...
متن کاملVinyl chloride and polyvinyl chloride exposure and occupational lung disease.
S everal recent reports,12 and one in this issue (see page 828), have contributed new observations on pulmonary disease in vinyl chloride (VC ) -and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) -exposed patients. Earlier reports, a few even preceding the identification in 1974 of vinyl chloride as a human carcinogen (with hemangiosarcoma of the liver the marker tumor, but most probably not the only tumor), had cen...
متن کاملIncidence of cancer among vinyl chloride and polyvinyl chloride workers.
The results of a follow up study of the incidence of cancer and the mortality in a cohort of 454 male workers producing vinyl chloride and polyvinyl chloride are presented. The study population was restricted to employees with more than one year's work experience in the study plant between 1950 and 1969 and the cohort was followed up from 1953 to the end of 1979. Twenty three new cases of cance...

متن کاملRisk Assessment of Exposure to Vinyl Chloride
Carcinogenic risk estimation of human exposure to vinyl chloride (VC) was determined by utilizing laboratory animal data on the chronic bioassay of VC, VC pharmacokinetics and VC macromolecular interaction. The impact of these data upon the type of risk VC may pose to humans and the selection of appropriate mathematical models to quantitatively estimate "risk" are discussed. The problem of esti...
