Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Cancer incidence and mortality in the Swiedish polyurethane foam manufacturing industry

Notes: Sumario: Toluene diisocyanate (TDI) and methylene diphenyldiisocyanate (MDI) are used in large quantities in the polyurethane foam manufacturing industry. Both substances are mutagenic and at least TDI is carcinogenic to animals, but the occupational hazard with respect to cancer is not known. Cancer incidence and mortality patterns were therefore investigated in a cohort of 4154 workers from nine Swedish plants manufacturing polyurethane foam, employed for at least one yearRelated records: En: British journal of industrial medicine. - London and Margate. - nº 6, June 1993 ; p. 537-543Materia / lugar / evento: Medicina laboral Enfermedades profesionales Cáncer Mortalidad Espumas de poliuretano Higiene industrial Tolueno Metileno Contaminantes químicos Epidemiología Suecia Otros autores: Welinder, Hans
