| Abstract |
Report of a study of mortality and morbidity in 560 retired men from 6 U.S. plants producing glass fibre insulation materials. The mean follow-up period from first exposure was about 30 years. The results show that at the levels and type of exposure prevailing (no details are given), there were no unusual health hazards apart from a possible excess in chronic bronchitis. Causes of death and disability (observed and expected rates) are tabulated. There was no evidence of a cancer hazard. |
