Overall mortality trends among an electric utility workforce are examined. The study cohort (n 5 40,335) included all workers with at least 1 year of work experience from 1960-1991; 3,753 deaths were observed in this cohort. Standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) and internal cohort analyses were used

Associations between occupational magnetic field exposure and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), Hodgkin's disease, and multiple myeloma mortality were evaluated in 138,905 electrical utility workers. A job-exposure matrix based on measured magnetic fields was used to derive individual exposure estimates
We evaluated the risk of cancer among 1897 men and 417 women exposed to chloroprene (2-chloro-1,3-butadiene, CP) at a production plant in Yerevan, Armenia, between 1940 and 1988. The cohort was followed up for cancer incidence for the years 1979-1990 and for cancer mortality for 1979-1988. In the co
