| Abstract |
This review, concentrating on the effects of exposure to motor fuels, revealed a deficit in mortality due to all types of cancer. The possibility exists that occupational factors may play a part in the pathogenesis of brain cancer and renal diseases. The evidence for a link between occupational factors and other health effects is weak. |
