Resumen |
Report of a case-control of 220 cases of bladder cancer in 5 US rubber and tyre companies to determine if there were high-risk jobs and work areas within the industry. Cases were matched with 2 controls by sex, race, year of birth and company, and with an additional control by year of hire and duration of employment. Comparison of the work histories of cases and controls showed that cases were more likely than controls to have worked in milling and calendering. The relative risk estimates for milling and calendering both exhibited linear trends of increase with duration of exposure. Jobs in both milling and calender operation entail handling of heated uncured stock and potential exposure to volatilised rubber chemicals including antioxidants, antiozonants, accelerators and organic solvents. |
