<abstract displayLabel="Summary">This study of the risk of cancer in the Danish paper recycling industry incated an increased risk of pharyngeal cancer and Hodgkin's disease in men, and to some extent also of lung cancer. However, due to the few cases, the results are only suggestive. Although the cohort included more than 5000 people, the numbers of cancers of specific sites were low as the industry is new and the follow up period short. Furthermore, some misclassification of department of work may have taken place and biased the results. Further evidence of a possible risk of cancer in the paper recycling industry will await a longer follow up of the present cohort and results from other countries. Such studies are needed as paper recycling is now an important industry</abstract>
