| Abstract |
To investigate the relationship between selected solvent-related workplace tasks and the risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), this study analyzed occupational data from a large population-based case-control study of NHL. Participants reporting occupations with possible exposure to organic solvents (225 cases, 189 controls) were interviewed, together with individuals unexposed to organic solvents in the workplace (180 cases, 213 controls). Findings suggest that frequent degreasing work may be associated with an elevated risk of NHL. |
