| Abstract |
This report describes the extended follow-up of a cohort of 46,399 automobile manufacturing workers with potential exposure to metalworking fluids (MWF). The outcomes of cancers of the oesophagus, stomach, colon, rectum, liver, pancreas, larynx, skin, prostate and brain, as well as leukaemia, were recorded. Standardized mortality ratios were computed for the most recent ten years of follow-up, as well as for the entire study period. Adjusted relative risks were estimated in Poisson regression models. Associations were found between: straight MWF exposure and oesophageal, laryngeal and rectal cancer; soluble MWF exposure and cancer of the oesophagus, larynx, skin and brain; synthetic MWF exposure and cancer of the oesophagus, liver and prostate. These results provide further evidence that exposure to metalworking fluids causes cancer among workers in automobile manufacturing, and that risks of several digestive cancers, prostate cancer and leukaemia, may persist at current levels of exposure to water-based metalworking fluids. |
