Título An assessment of the effect of improved working conditions on bladder tumor incidence in a benzidine manufacturing facility.
Información bibliográfica Jan. 1976, Vol.37, No.1, p.61-68. Illus. 19 ref.
Resumen Following the introduction in 1955 of a new enclosed and wet process and of strict industrial hygiene control measures in a dye manufacturing plant opened in 1915, to reduce the possibility of exposure to benzidine, the number of cases of bladder tumour was drastically reduced both among the workers exposed to benzidine alone and those exposed to benzidine and/or other carcinogenic agents. The changes made to the process and the control measures devised are listed. Details are also given of the statistical methodology used in this study.
