Abstrakt: The article presents a response to a commentary on a study that examined the association between mortality from lymphohematopoietic malignancies and brain cancer and work practices in the embalming industry. The family members and coworkers of deceased case and control embalmers from earlier surveys were interviewed to determine lifetime work histories and estimate exposure to formaldehyde. It is asserted that the proportional mortality ratios suggested in the commentary differ from the proportional mortality ratios in the authors' earlier surveys.
