About 1.5 million Australians may be currently exposed to carcinogens in their jobs. This estimate is based on European data and we need Australian information in order to direct future Australian research, policy and practice. The project will survey 5000 Australian workers to estimate the exposure to up to 53 prioity occupational chemicals. This will provide a sound basis for estimating the occupational risk of cancers for Australian workers and determining how to decrease the number of cancers caused by work.

目前，大约有150万澳大利亚人在工作中可能接触到致癌物质。这一估计是基于欧洲的数据，我们需要澳大利亚的信息，以指导澳大利亚未来的研究，政策和实践。该项目将对5000名澳大利亚工人进行调查，以估计多达53种优先职业化学品的暴露情况。这将为估计澳大利亚工人患癌症的职业风险和确定如何减少工作引起的癌症数量提供一个坚实的基础。
