| Resumen |
This cohort study evaluated mortality patterns (1940 through 1982) of 2,192 chemical workers who, having engaged in the manufacture of products containing higher chlorinated phenols and their derivatives, had potential occupational exposures to chlorinated dioxins. Relative to the US white male mortality experience, there were no statistically significant deviations from the expected for the following categories: all causes; total malignant neoplasms; specific malignancies of particular interest (stomach cancer, liver cancer, connective and other soft-tissue cancer, the lymphomas, nasal and nasopharyngeal cancer). For the cirrhosis of the liver category, internal comparisons demonstrated increasing trends associated with duration of employment in the chlorophenol production and finishing areas, but available evidence suggests that this finding was related to alcohol abuse. The study does not support a causal association between chronic human disease as measured by mortality and exposures to the higher chlorinated phenols, derivative products, or their unwanted contaminants, the chlorinated dioxins. |
