This study was set up to investigate whether work in car repair workshops is associated with an increased risk of ischemic heart disease and specific malignant neoplasms. For this purpose, a cohort of auto mechanic has been followed through 10 years with regard to cause-specific mortality. Comparisons were made with another cohort of skilled male workers who were not exposed to asbestos or petrochemical substances. [standardized morcal substances. The auto mechanics'' mortality was increased for ischemic heart disease [standardized mortality ratio (SMR) 121, 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) 102-145], other cardiovascular diseases (SMR 112, 95% CI 82-150), cancer (SMR 115, 95% CI 97-136), other diseases (SMR 119, 95% CI 94-149), and external causes (SMR 131, 95% CI 131-153). For specific cancer sites, increases were seen for pancreatic cancer, urinary cancer outside the bladder, and pleural mesothelioma.
