<abstract displayLabel="Summary">Incedence of cancer and mortality were studied among 674 men exposed to mercury vapour for more than one year at two chloralkali plants. Mercury excretion in urine had been monitored among the workers at the two plants sine 1948 and 1949. An individual cumulative urinary mercury dose was calculated, based on about 20.000 urinary mercury measurements. The incidence of cancer and the mortality were followed up from 1953 to 1989 and 1953 to 1988 respectively. The general Norwegan male population served as a reference population. Ther was a lung cancer excess of borderline significance</abstract>
