Article Synopsis
- This study is the first large-scale assessment of mortality and cancer rates among workers in semiconductor and storage device manufacturing.
- Unique combinations of job codes and work history were analyzed to create work groups and exposure categories, allowing for a detailed comparison of worker exposure to harmful agents.
- The results identified 19 work groups and tracked over 310,000 job codes from 1965-1999, creating matrices to understand exposure to substances like solvents and metals during three distinct manufacturing eras.
