چکیده
Results Lung cancer mortality was elevated only in the chromium plater subgroup, with borderline statistical significance [SMR=1.46, observations (Obs) = 28, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 0.98–2.04]. The chromium plater subgroup also showed elevated mortality risks for brain tumor (SMR=9.14, Obs=3, 95% CI 1.81–22.09) and malignant lymphoma (SMR=2.84, Obs=6, 95% CI 1.05–5.51). Risks were particularly elevated for lung cancer (SMR=1.59, Obs=23, 95% CI 1.01–2.38) and malignant lymphoma (SMR=3.80, Obs=6, 95% CI 1.39–8.29) in those with initial chromium exposure prior to 1970.

The elevated risk of lung cancer among chromate-producing workers has been confirmed by many epidemiological studies. Although chromium has been most used in the chromium plating industry and many platers are employed in small-scale factories, cancer studies have been documented in only a few investigations. We have conducted several prospective cohort studies in Japanese chromium platers and r...
متن کاملAn epidemiological study on lung cancer among chromium plating workers.
High risk of lung cancer among chromate workers have been reported by many investigators, but it has been limited to the refining process. A recent report demonstrated that there was a significantly high number of deaths from cancer among chromium platers. In this report, a cohort study was carried out on platers in Tokyo. Among 952 chromium platers who were followed up from April 1, 1970 to Se...

Background and Aim: Exposure to hexavalent chromium in plating operations is associated with skin ulceration, contact dermatitis, respiratory tract irritation, cancer, and kidney damage. We investigated the possibility of using biological monitoring to assess exposure to hexavalent chromium in chrome-plating workers. We compared mean Cr6 concentrations in the breathing zone plus urine chromium,...
متن کاملOccupational skin ulceration in chrome platers.
Ulceration of the skin due to contact with hexavalent chromium was first described by Cummings in 1827. One hundred years later, in 1928, Blair published a study of 12 cases of skin and nasal ulceration at a time when chrome plating had become commercially successful. Formal regulations to protect workers heath were introduced for the first time in the UK in 1931, when the risks of occupational...
متن کاملLung cancer mortality in nickel/chromium platers, 1946-95.
OBJECTIVES To investigate mortality from lung cancer in nickel/chromium platers. METHODS The mortality experience of a cohort of 1762 chrome workers (812 men, 950 women) from a large electroplating and light engineering plant in the Midlands, United Kingdom, was investigated for the period 1946-95. All subjects were first employed in chrome work at the plant during the period 1946-75, and had...
