Mortality due to pancreatic and lymphopoietic cancers in chlorohydrin production workers / L.O. Benson, M.J. Teta
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 years
