| Abstract |
Study covering the respiratory cancer mortality experience (1938-1977) of 8,045 white male smelter employees in Montana, USA. When exposure was estimated with arithmetic means of measured concentrations of arsenic trioxide among men first employed prior to 1925, respiratory cancer mortality increased linearly with increasing cumulative exposure group, ranging from 2 to 9 times expected; among those first employed in the period 1925 to 1947 it also increased linearly with cumulative exposure group. |
