| Resumen |
Mortality and morbidity were studied in 1393 workers engaged in pesticide manufacture and packaging. There were 23 deaths from lung cancer and 2 from anaemias, a statistically significant excess. Lung cancer mortality was especially high in male production workers with presumed high arsenicals exposure. A dose-response effect was suggested. Exposed workers also had increased frequencies of keratoses and perforation of the nasal septum. Analysis of the lung cancer deaths and matched controls suggested a relationship between lung cancer and antecedent keratoses. |
