## Abstract A causal pathway between quartz, silicosis and lung cancer has been postulated. The aim of our study was to assess cytotoxic effects induced in a human lung epithelial cell line (A549) by exposure to __Ξ±__βquartz. Cells were exposed to respirable __Ξ±__βquartz (SRM1878a, NIST) at 25, 50

## Abstract A caseβcontrol study was set up to assess the risk of eye melanoma in relation to the number and type of cutaneous melanocytic naevi and pigmented lesions of the iris. Cases comprised 211 unselected ocular melanoma patients attending the Ocular Oncology Clinic at Moorfields Eye Hospital
A population-based case-control study was conducted in Shanghai, China, to investigate the association between dietary factors and risk of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). The study included 935 NPC patients aged 15 to 74 years and 1,032 community controls. Exposures to salted fish and other protein-
Aquatic oligochaete species selected on the basis of pollution tolerance or intolerance as determined from field studies were used to determine respiration rates under standard conditions, after exposure to sublethal levels of environmental variables (pH, salinity, temperature) or toxicants (Cd, Hg,
