## Abstract The causal role of work‐related exposure to wood dust in the development of sinonasal cancer has long been established by numerous epidemiologic studies. To study molecular changes in these tumors, we analyzed __TP53__ gene mutations in 358 sinonasal cancer cases with or without occupat

## Abstract The causal role of wood‐dust exposure in sinonasal cancer (SNC) has been established in epidemiological studies, but the mechanisms of SNC carcinogenesis are still largely unknown. Increased amounts of COX‐2 are found in both premalignant and malignant tissues, and experimental evidence
Selenium (Se) plasma levels were studied in 222 coal miners to assess whether selenium is decreased in relation to coal dust exposure, taking age, alcohol, and tobacco consumption into account. Selenium levels decreased significantly with age and current tobacco consumption, among miners aged 34-50.
## Background: We analyzed 1,632 measurements of airborne wood dust reported to osha's integrated management information system in the period 1979 to 1997. ## Methods: The relationships between wood dust concentrations and various factors documented in the osha database were examined in a multipl
