| Abstract |
Coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality was studied in 343 men from a viscose rayon factory in Finland, with >5 years' exposure. CHD mortality was >2-fold that of matched controls. Life expectancy at 25-54 years was 2 years shorter. Mortality had decreased since protection measures had been instituted, reducing exposure to <10ppm. It appears that such measures can lessen CHD mortality in formerly excessively exposed workers. |
