In 1982, White et al published an assessment of quantitative leukemia risk associated with lifetime occupational exposure to benzene. At about the same time, IARC (1982) published estimates of quantitative cancer risk associated with industrial chemicals. Benzene was one of the two chemicals selecte
Occupational asthma may account for a significant proportion of adult-onset asthma, but incidence estimates from surveillance of physician reports and workers'compensation data (0.9 to 15/100,000) are lower than expected from community-based cross-sectional studies of asthma patients. We conducted a
## Abstract Models based on the multistage theory of carcinogenesis predict that the rate of mesothelioma increases monotonically as a function of time since first exposure (TSFE) to asbestos. Predictions of longβterm mortality (TSFE β₯ 40 years) are, however, still untested, because of the limited
Background Because of the rarity of peritoneal mesothelioma, occupational risks associated with it have seldom been studied, particularly among women. In this respect, death certificates databases may provide numbers large enough for analysis, although the International Classification of Diseases, 9
