Cancer Incidence and Mortality among Beta-Naphthylamine and Benzidine Dye Workers in Moscow

Abstract

Relative rates of oesophageal, lung, and stomach cancer were also elevated among all workers, but did not increase with total years worked, age first hired, or year first hired, suggesting a non-occupational aetiology.

Occupational exposures and risk of esophageal and gastric cardia cancers among male Swedish construction workers

“…In some occupational groups positive associations with esophageal cancer have previously been found, e.g. among workers in the rubber industry, automobile building industry workers, chimney sweeps, mine workers, individuals working with chemical products, medical X-ray workers, workers in the cement industry, plastics and composites industry workers, dye production industry workers, bookbinders, individuals with administrative jobs, health professionals, dry cleaning workers and asphalt workers [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38]. Specific exposures and agents that have been linked with esophageal cancer include metal dust, asbestos, silica dust, combustion products, sulphuric acid, carbon black and organic solvents [39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47].…”

Geographical differences in cancer incidence in the Belgian province of Limburg

“…In both males and females, bladder cancer has been related to slow acetylation polymorphism (12,13), smoking (13)(14)(15)(16) and occupational exposure in the dye, rubber and tyre industry (13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21). Interactions between these exposure factors have also been identified (13)(14)(15)(16).…”

Effects of Ethanol and Phenobarbital on Hemoglobin Adducts Formation in Rats Exposed to Benzidine and Direct Black 38

“…Therefore, MABZ-HBI could have been higher in our study compared with other studies. Although BZ causes bladder cancer in humans 6) , it causes liver cancer in mice and rats 68) . However, the results more applicable to humans could be obtained when studies are to be conducted in dogs since BZ causes bladder cancer in dogs who have similar levels of N-acetylation as in people 69) .…”
