在1945年至1955年期间，对3572名纸浆和造纸厂工人进行了至少一年的跟踪调查，直至1977年3月31日。99%的队列被确定了生命状态。观察到的915例死亡人数是按美国可比死亡率计算的预期死亡人数的79%。淋巴肉瘤、网状肉瘤和胃癌导致的死亡在统计学上没有显著差异。这些发现倾向于证实基于州生命统计数据的报告，以及对纸浆或造纸行业工人的初步案例参考和基于人口的研究。没有观察到死于鼻癌，但预计只有0.6人死亡。当进行特定过程的分析时，淋巴肉瘤和网状肉瘤的额外风险只对在硫酸盐工厂工作的男性增加。患胃癌的额外风险仅限于在亚硫酸盐工厂工作的男性。自第一次在工厂工作以来，这些原因的特定过程标准化死亡率在20年后达到了最高水平。
A cohort of 3,572 pulp and paper mill workers employed for at least one year between 1945 and 1955 was followed through 31 March 1977. Vital status was determined for 99% of the cohort. The 915 deaths observed were 79% of the number expected on the basis of comparable United States mortality rates. Statistically nonsignificant excesses of deaths due to lymphosarcoma and reticulosarcoma and to stomach cancer were observed. These findings tend to corroborate reports based on state vital statistics, and preliminary case-referent and population-based studies of workers in the pulp or paper industries. No deaths due to nasal cancer were observed, but only 0.6 were expected. When process-specific analyses were conducted, the excess risk of lymphosarcoma and reticulosarcoma was increased only for men who worked in sulfate mills. The excess risk of stomach cancer was limited to men who worked in sulfite mills. Process-specific standardized mortality ratios for these causes were highest after 20 years since first employment in the mills.
