作者先前报道了巴尔的摩一家汤厂工人的死亡率。口底癌、直肠乙状结肠/直肠/肛门癌、癫痫和慢性肾炎的死亡率增加。在这里,作者报告了同一地区第二种汤厂的死亡率。扁桃体/口咽癌、直肠乙状结肠/直肠/肛门癌、肺癌和骨髓纤维化的超额死亡率也有类似记录。心血管、脑血管、肾脏和传染病的风险也很高。这两项研究很重要,因为首先,据作者所知,这两项研究是该职业群体中唯一的死亡率报告,尽管他们有可能暴露于危险的致癌物质。第二,没有关于这一行业的任何接触评估的资料。这2份报告将提请注意,需要在这一研究较少的群体中进行更详细的暴露和死亡率调查。
The authors previously reported on mortality among workers in a Baltimore soup plant. Increased mortality was observed for cancers of the floor of the mouth, rectosigmoid colon/rectum/anus, epilepsy, and chronic nephritis. Here, the authors report on mortality on a second soup plant in the same locality. Excess mortality was similarly recorded for cancers of the tonsils/oropharynx, rectosigmoid colon/rectum/anus, and lung and myelofibrosis. Excess risk from cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, kidney, and infectious diseases was also observed. These 2 studies are important because firstly, to the authors’ knowledge, they are the only reports of mortality in this occupational group in spite of their having a potential for exposure to hazardous carcinogenic agents. Secondly, there is no information on any exposure assessment in this industry. These 2 reports will draw attention to the need to conduct more detailed exposure and mortality investigations in this little-studied group.
