| Resumen |
Workers at Soviet plants producing silica firebricks and aluminosilicate firebricks, a gold mine, and a talc mining, grinding and processing plant (a total of over 235,000 man-years) were considered. The death rate was estimated from the number of deaths due to cancer registered over 21-27 years and the number of man-years for all employees over the same period. Talc dust (even that not containing fibrous minerals) was shown to be a carcinogen, and silica-containing dust only a co-carcinogen. The silica content of dust plays either no role at all or a much lesser role than that of the total dust load. The role played by tuberculosis in influencing the cancer death rate is discussed. |
