Cancer incidence and work place exposure among Swedish biomedical research personnel

Objective: This cohort study aimed to elucidate cancer occurrence in relation to occupational exposure to specific chemical, biological and physical agents among biomedical research laboratory personnel in Sweden. Methods: Standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) for the period 1970–1994 were calculated for specific exposures in the laboratory group (n=3,277) and for personnel working in non-laboratory departments (n=2,011), as an internal reference...
