| Popis: | We report an update of the mortality experience of a cohort of 8878 employees who worked between November 1, 1965, and December 31, 1988, at a synthetic fiber manufacturing facility with potential exposure to glycerol polyglycidyl ether (T55) and were followed through December 31, 1998. The mortality experience of the race/gender groups within the cohort was strikingly similar, with both the all causes of death and all cancer causes of death below unity on both national and local standards. For white men, there were no statistically significant increases for any cause of death, with the exception of benign neoplasms. Thirty-four percent of the cohort had worked at the plant for less than 1 year. Standardized mortality ratios were compiled for those with less than 1 year of employment and for those with 1 year or more of employment. Exclusion of those cohort members who worked less than 1 year had little impact on the standardized mortality ratios. |
