| Resumen |
United States railroad workers have been exposed to diesel exhaust since diesel locomotives were introduced after World War II. This retrospective cohort study examined the association of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) mortality with years of work in diesel-exposed jobs. A Cox proportional hazards model was used to estimate the adjusted incidence rate ratio. Workers in jobs with diesel exhaust exposure had an increased risk of COPD mortality relative to those in unexposed jobs. Workers hired after the introduction of diesel locomotives had a 2.5% increase in COPD mortality risk for each additional year of work in a diesel-exposed job. |
