| Abstract |
Editor's choice: reprint of a classic paper originally published in 1954 (BJIM 11: 75-96). It presents the results of a follow up on more that 4600 men in the British chemical industry from 1920 to 1949. The overall risk of dying from bladder cancer was about 30 times that of the general population and contact with benzidine, alpha-naphthylamine or beta-napthylamine (but not aniline) in either manufacture or use was liable to cause an excess number of tumours. Furthermore, this study confirms what was known for other occupational tumours, that is, that both onset and death occurred at an earlier age than in non-occupational cases. |
