| Resumen |
Mortality study of 1168 workers employed in 3 Geneva (Switzerland) perfume factories for at least 1 year in the period 1899-1964. Among the whole group, only deaths due to tuberculosis were significantly higher than among the general population. Analysis by 4 exposure categories (chemical process workers, compounders and associated workers, maintenance workers potentially exposed to harmful chemicals, chemical research workers) showed a significant excess of deaths from heart disease among compounders. 2 deaths from aplastic anaemia occurred among chemical process workers exposed to benzene. Cancer incidence was not related to this kind of work. Significant increases in mortality from various causes below the age of 70 were noted, but these were not thought to be related to an occupational factor. |
