| Resumen |
Cancer mortality for 1964-1973 was studied in 15,032 refinery workers in Canada. Those with jobs exposing them to crude petroleum or its products had more than 3 times the risk of oesophageal and stomach cancer, and about twice the risk of lung cancer, than non-exposed controls. There was a relation between cancer risk and duration of employment. Comparisons of refinery with non-refinery workers, without reference to petroleum exposure, showed the former to have twice the risk of cancer of the intestines and other digestive organs. The results cannot be ascribed with certainty to a carcinogenic effect of petroleum, and further study is called for. Numerous statistical tables illustrate the text. |
