Abstract: Cancer and non-cancer mortality in a cohort of recent entrants (1981-2000) to the German rubber industry Working in the rubber industry is associated with increased cancer risks, particularly for cancers of the lung, larynx, urinary bladder and leukaemia.1 Most epidemiological studies, however, still reflect working conditions back to the 1940s.As occupational exposures were lowered considerably since the late 1970s, prospective health surveillance is warranted to assess the effectiveness of exposure control.
