| Abstract |
In this review, the relative importance of smoking as a cofactor in occupational cancer is discussed. Sections are devoted to: respiratory cancer (uranium mining, asbestos, nickel, arsenicals, chromate, chloromethyl ethers, vinyl chloride (VC), coke oven fumes, gas workers); urinary cancer. There is a lack of epidemiological data on the joint action of occupational carcinogens and tobacco smoke, especially for nickel, coke oven and gas workers, and chemical workers exposed to halo ethers, VC and some urinary carcinogens. Synergistic and/or additive effects are established for exposure to radon daughters and some asbestos types. Implications for prevention. |
