| Resumen |
This study included 1026 workers hired between 1940 and 1971 and followed until the end of 1981. Excess mortality from tumours was observed for workers followed 20 or more years; greatest excess was 25-29 years. Of the 46 tumours, 22 were lung and 15 gastrointestinal cancers. Granite exposure per se may be an aetiologic factor in the initiation or promotion of malignant neoplasms. |
