Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Carcinoma of the lung in Ontario gold miners : possible aetiological factors

Notas: Sumario: This study extends the end of the period of observation of the cohort of miners studied earlier from 1977 to the end of 1986. The longer period of follow up is used to examine whether an excess of carcinoma of the lung exists in Ontario gold miners who began work in the mines after 1945. It also allows us to reconsider the role of radon decay products, arsenic, and mineral fibre using data from a survey of the concentration of radon decay products in many Ontario gold mines that are now available, data about the arsenic content of mine tailings and rock samples taken from Ontario gold mines, and geological information about the presence of mineral fibre in gold minesRegistros relacionados: En: British journal of industrial medicine. - London and Margate. - nº 12, December 1991 ; p. 808-817Materia / lugar / evento: Medicina laboral Epidemiología Enfermedades profesionales Enfermedades pulmonares Radón Arsénico Cáncer Mortalidad Oro Minería Fibra mineral Canadá Otros autores: Kusiak, R.A.
