Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Mortality due to pancreatic and lymphopoietic cancers in chlorohydrin production workers

Notes: Sumario: Men assigned to the chlorohydrin unit of Union Carbede's South Charleston plant in the Kanawha Valley of West Virginia were followed up for mortality from 1940 to the end of 1988. This 10 year update was conducted to verify previous findings of excesses of cancer among the 278 men assigned to the chlorohydrin unit, which primarily produced ethylene chlorohydrin from 1925 to 1957. This process produced ethylene dichloride and bischloroethyl ether as byproducts. Mean duration of assignment was 5-9 years and mean duration of follow up was 36.5 yearsRelated records: En: British journal of industrial medicine. - London and Margate. - nº 8, August 1993 ; p. 710-716Materia / lugar / evento: Medicina laboral Enfermedades profesionales Plantas químicas Cloruro de hidrógeno Higiene industrial Cáncer Epidemiología Mortalidad Otros autores: Teta, M.J.
