The risk of renal cell cancer among those in occupations with potential for petroleum exposure was evaluated in a large population-based case-control study. Overall there was little difference between the cases and control groups in the proportion of persons with petroleum-related employment (odds ratio = 1.0). Among gasoline station attendants, a slight upward trend in risk was observed with increasing duration of employment. The significance of this association is not clear, but further research is needed in light of recent animal findings linking gasoline exposure to renal cancer.

Exposure to benzene and other hydrocarbons and risk of bladder cancer among male offshore petroleum workers.
Br J Cancer
September 2023
Department of Research, Cancer Registry of Norway, Oslo, Norway.
Background: Occupational exposures constitute the second leading cause of urinary bladder cancer after tobacco smoking. Increased risks have been found in the petroleum industry, but high-quality exposure data are needed to explain these observations.
Methods: Using a prospective case-cohort design, we analysed 189 bladder cancer cases (1999-2017) and 2065 randomly drawn non-cases from the Norwegian Offshore Petroleum Workers cohort.
Vehicular influence on atmospheric concentrations and source apportionment of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in some major cities in three regions of Ghana using epiphytic lichens.

Department of Chemistry, University of Cape Coast, Ghana.
The present study employed epiphytic lichens as biomonitor and passive air sampler for the assessment of fifteen (15) atmospheric polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in some major cities in three regions of Ghana. A total of 36 composite lichen samples were collected and analysed using Gas Chromatography - Tandem Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS-MS). The total PAH recorded ranged between 1909.

Two case series and two epidemiological studies in the 1970s and 1980s suggested that benzene exposure might be a risk factor for multiple myeloma. An analysis has now been conducted of the published population-based and hospital-based case-control studies published through mid-1995 that permit examination of the relationship between multiple myeloma and benzene exposure or surrogates for benzene exposure. No increased association was found between multiple myeloma and benzene exposure or exposure to chemical groups that included benzene.
