Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Past exposure to asbestos and combustion products and incidence of cancer among Finnish locomotive drivers

Notas: Sumario: This study arose from a case of mesothelioma in a locomotive driver, and from concern that conservation and recycling of old locomotives and coaches causes exposure to asbestos. During the steam engine era all trainee locomotive drivers in Finland were exposed to asbestos in the railway workshops. When working in traffic operations, the drivers were exposed to combustion products and to coal tar. New diesel locomotive drivers are exposed to exhaust fumes from the engineRegistros relacionados: En: Occupational and environmental medicine. - London and Margate. - nº 5, May 1994 ; p. 330-334Materia / lugar / evento: Medicina laboral Enfermedades profesionales Epidemiología Ferrocarriles Enfermedades pulmonares Amianto Combustibles Mesotelioma Cáncer Otros autores: Pukkala, Eero
