A Case-control study of lung cancer in a cohort of workers potentially exposed to slag wool fibres / Otto Wong, Donna Foliart, Lisa S. Trent

Sumario: The currently available epidemiological data are limited in that they lack detailed MMVF (man made vitreous fibres) exposure information, smoking history, and other potentially confounding occupational exposures. This report summarises the findings of a case-control study of lung cancer among workers employed at slag wool plants. As well as detailed information on exposure to slag wool fibres, we also collected data on smoking and employment histories outside the MMVF industry
