| Abstract |
CAREX (Carcinogen Exposure), an international database of occupational exposure to carcinogens, provides access to specific data by country and industry. It includes data on 139 carcinogenic agents evaluated by the IARC. Occupational exposure to these carcinogenic agents was estimated for each of the 15 Member States of the European Union. In France, approximately 5 million workers were potentially exposed to the IARC carcinogens covered by CAREX. The most common exposures were solar radiation (15 million workers exposed at least 75% of working time), tobacco smoke in the workplace (12 million at least 75% of working time), radon (500,000), diesel exhaust (400,000), sulfuric acid mist (400,000), formaldehyde (300,000), wood dust (180,000), tetrachloroethylene (140,000), asbestos (140,000), and lead and inorganic lead compounds (140,000). |
