| Abstract |
Many common industrial chemicals have been shown to be carcinogenic by animal experiment, but not all present a carcinogenic hazard to workers exposed to them in industrial conditions. It is essential for judgments to be made as to the degree of hazard presented by individual carcinogens, and to assess what protective measures need be applied. Each carcinogen constitutes a different problem and requires an individual judgment. The role of the United Kingdom Employment Medical Advisory Service in making such assessments is discussed. |
