Resumen |
In earlier studies, very high levels of airborne particles had been detected in the subway system in Stockholm, Sweden, and these particles were found to be more toxic to DNA in cultured human lung cells than particles from ambient air. This study involved a cohort comprised of all male transport and communication workers in Stockholm County who were gainfully employed in 1970. They were followed for cancer incidence until 1989. Lung cancer cases were identified from the national cancer register, and subway drivers were identified from the census in 1970. There were nine cases of lung cancer among the subway drivers, resulting in a standardized incidence ratio of 0.82 compared to the reference cohort of transport workers. In conclusion, the lung cancer incidence was not increased among the subway drivers. |
