摘要：

The present study was designed to test earlier findings of increased risk of lung cancer among iron foundry workers find to define the cause of the risk. The subjects were 3,425 workers with at least one year’s employment in an iron foundry sometime between 1918 and December 31, 1972. The number (51) of cases of lung cancer which occurred prior to December 31, 1976 was statistically significantly higher than that expected, i.e., 35.3 based on proportional mortality. Molders and casters were determined to have the highest excess risk in a case-control study among the cohort. The worker groups with high exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) experienced a lung cancer risk higher than that of other groups, but the difference was not statistically signifitant. © 1979 The American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine.
