对406名工人进行了一项历史队列研究，以评估在传统发电厂工作可能对健康造成的危害，特别是癌症死亡率。总死亡率低于以全国死亡率为基础的预期[观察到的40，标准化死亡率比(SMR)87]。癌症死亡率略有增加(SMR112)，主要是由于呼吸道癌症过多(观察到9例，SMR171，90%CI-299)。肺癌死亡率在60岁以下的人群中高于预期，在暴露时间和自第一次就业以来潜伏期超过10年的人群中(观察到7，SMR 184)。此外，这一增长在维修工人和一般事务人员中更为明显。以前的数据表明，过去曾接触过一些已知的呼吸道致癌物质(即石棉、多环芳香烃)。这项研究建议，应考虑和进一步研究传统发电厂可能产生的肺癌风险。
A historical cohort study of 406 workers was undertaken to evaluate the possible health hazards of employment in traditional electric power plants with particular regard to cancer mortality. The total mortality was below that expected [observed 40, standardized mortality ratio (SMR) 87] on the basis of national rates. Cancer mortality was slightly increased (SMR 112), mainly because of an excess of respiratory cancer (observed 9, SMR 171, 90% Cl 89-299). Lung cancer deaths were higher than expected among those less than 60 years of age and among those with a duration of exposure and a latency period since first employment of over 10 years (observed 7, SMR 184). Furthermore, the increase was more pronounced among maintenance workers and workers in general services. Previous data indicated that there had been past exposure to some known respiratory carcinogens (ie, asbestos, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons). This study suggests tht a possible lung cancer risk from traditional electrictly generating plants should be considered and further studied.
