Título Health effects on workers in the pharmaceutical industry: a review
Información bibliográfica Autumn 1988, Vol.38, No.3, p.55-57. 19 ref.
Resumen Until now little has been published about the known or suspected health risks of people employed in the manufacture and formulation of pharmaceutical products. Physicians are the only segment of the health care industry that have been studied extensively. Although pharmaceutical workers experience a potential risk from carcinogenic agents, the evidence for or against a real threat to their health remains both meagre and speculative. This paper reviews the available literature concerning occupational exposure to pharmaceutical agents.
