An Investigation of brain tumours and other malignancies in an agricultural research institute / Leslie Daly, Bernadette Herity, Geoffrey J. Bourke

Sumario: A historical cohort study was carried out in an agricultural research institute in the Republic of Ireland to investigate a perceived excess of cancer deaths among employees. The objectives of the study were to confirm whether or not total or cause specific death rates among selected employees were higher than to quantify any excess, and to identify centres and employee grades associated with any excess risk. The cohort comprised all administrative, research, and technical staff employed for at least two years between 1960 and 1980
