Mortality patterns among workers exposed to acrylamide.

A cohort of 8854 men, 2293 of whom were exposed to acrylamide, was examined from 1925 to 1983 for mortality. This cohort consisted of four plant populations in two countries: the United States and The Netherlands. No statistically significant excess of all-cause or cause-specific mortality was found among acrylamide workers.

Mortality patterns among employees exposed to acrylonitrile.

A cohort of 2671 men, 1774 of whom were exposed to acrylonitrile, was observed from 1951 through 1983 for mortality. No statistically significant excess of all-cause or cause-specific mortality was observed. Analysis of exposure duration to acrylonitrile with respiratory cancer mortality showed no trend.

Mortality patterns among men exposed to methyl methacrylate.

A cohort of 2,671 men, 1561 of whom were exposed to methyl methacrylate, was observed from 1951 to 1983 for mortality. This cohort consisted of men from two plants. This study utilizes detailed exposure estimates and smoking status to evaluate mortality patterns.

Retrospective evaluation of reproductive performance of workers exposed to ethylene dibromide (EDB).

An attempt has been made to examine retrospectively any antifertility influence of ethylene dibromide (EDB) by studying the reproductive performance of men exposed to EDB, exclusively on the basis of their reproductive histories in terms of live births to their wives, subsequent to their occupational exposure to EDB. The number of live, putatively legitimate, natural children born to the wives was compared to the expected number derived from national fertility tables published for successive birth cohorts of U.S.
