Título Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and exposure to phenoxyherbicides, chlorophenols, fencing work, and meat works employment: a case-control study
Información bibliográfica Feb. 1986, Vol.43, No.2, p.75-83. 41 ref.
Resumen This case-control study, conducted in New Zealand, involved 83 men with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, 168 controls with other kinds of cancer, and 228 controls from the general population. There were no significant differences between cases and controls regarding potential exposure to phenoxy herbicides or chlorophenols. There were significantly raised odds ratios for fencing work (odds ratio: 2.0), which involves exposure to several potential risk factors including arsenic and sodium pentachlorophenate, and for employment in meat-processing plants (odds ratio: 1.8), which entails exposure to 2,4,6-trichlorophenol and zoonotic viruses.
