Title Risk assessment of a cohort exposed to aromatic amines - Initial results
Bibliographic information Feb. 1985, Vol.27, No.2, p.115-121. Illus. 19 ref.
Abstract A cohort of 1,385 U.S. workers potentially exposed to carcinogenic amines was evaluated to determine the extent of their risk of contracting bladder cancer. Initial results revealed 13 confirmed cases of bladder cancer. The latency period was found to be much shorter in black workers than in the general U.S. population.
