| Resumen |
In a survey of mortality and cancer incidence among workers exposed to toluene diisocyanate (TDI), data on workers from 11 factories in the flexible polyurethane foam industry were analyzed. Results indicated that cancer rates in this population were lower than those for the general population. All increased cancer rates among women occurred at sites of cancer known to be related to cigarette smoking, and these excesses were probably due to a combination of smoking, chance and factors unrelated to the industry under study. |
