Mortality of coke plant workers in the Netherlands / G.M.H. Swaen... [et al.]

Sumario: During the production of coke, large quantities of coke oven gas are emitted. People who work on the top or on the sides of coke ovens are exposed to this oven gas, which contains a range of cancinogenic chemicals. The specific aim of this study was to investigate if Dutch coke oven workers exposed to coke oven gas were also at higher risk for lung and other cancers
