Mortality from stomach cancer in Ontario miners.

Mortality in a cohort of Russian fertilizer workers

“…An excess mortality from stomach cancer has been observed for glass workers and gold miners; however, they were exposed to other potentially cascinogenic substances (13,14). It should be pointed out that most of the deaths from stomach cancer were attributed to the workers of the sulfuric acid department (tower process), where the highest concentrations of nitrogen oxides were observed.…”

Mortality from circulatory system diseases and low-level radon exposure in the French cohort study of uranium miners, 1946–1999

“…They have concluded that cumulative exposure to radon is associated with an increase in lung cancer mortality. Several studies have suggested that radon exposure might also induce other kinds of cancer, such as leukemia, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, malignant melanoma, multiple myeloma, and cancers of the pancreas, stomach and kidney, as well as other non-malignant respiratory diseases (16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24). Nonetheless, the only significant positive association reported to date between cumulative radon exposure and any cause of mortality is for lung cancer.…”

Cr (III) bioremoval capacities of indigenous and adapted bacterial strains from Palar river basin

“…Trivalent chromium helps in glucose and lipid metabolism, on the other hand it causes skin allergy with long time contact that leads to cancer [6,7]. Kusiak et al [8] reported that Cr (III) increased mortality in miners. Trivalent chromium is toxic to fish when its concentration in water exceeds 5 mg/l [9].…”
