Título Spontaneous abortion and general illness symptoms among semiconductor manufacturers
Información bibliográfica July 1988, Vol.30, No.7, p.543-551. 46 ref.
Resumen Personal interviews were conducted with manufacturing workers, spouses of male manufacturers, and an internal control group. Elevated spontaneous abortion ratios were observed for females working in the "diffusion" (38.9%) and photolithographic processes (31.1%). Various general health symptoms were examined and reported more frequently among manufacturers than the non-exposed. These results should be viewed as tentative until studies with larger numbers and more detailed exposure data are carried out.
