摘要: Several epidemiological studies of workers exposed to cadmium indicate an increased risk lung and prostatic cancer. The increase is statistically significant in some the but SMR greater than 100 almost all. A cohort study mortality among 522 Swedish for at least one year a nickel-cadmium battery plant support earlier findings. cancer with increasing dose latency did not obtain statistical significance. combination all available data from most recent follow up causes death six different cohorts shows 28 cases (SMR = 162) 195 121). This new analysis suggests that long term, high level exposure associated role concomitant nickel needs further study.
