| Abstract |
A survivorship analysis was used to compare the cardiovascular disease mortality in a cohort of 1,282 white male workers exposed and non-exposed to solvents in a rubber and tyre manufacturing plant during a 15-year follow-up period. Detailed exposure estimates for 25 solvents were available. The known association between carbon disulfide exposure and ischaemic heart disease (IHD) was apparent among these workers, and 2 other solvents, ethanol and phenol, were also significant predictors of IHD. Solvents other than carbon disulfide may cause atherosclerotic disease. |
