Título Benzidine exposure as a cause of bladder tumors.
Información bibliográfica July 1973, Vol.27, No.1, p.1-7. Illus. 21 ref.
Resumen 25 men formerly engaged in benzidine manufacture were investigated over a period of 13 years; 13 of the group developed bladder tumours. A survey of the process of benzidine manufacture was carried out and the hazardous stages determined. Control of benzidine exposure by engineering methods should be the first line of defence. Rotation of workers does not significantly decrease risk to the individual, while increasing the number at risk. Periodic cystoscopic examination of exposed persons is advocated as the best method of early detection. It is not recommended to wait until haematuria appears.
