Abstract
Mortality patterns of 671 female laundry and dry cleaning workers (1963-1977) were analyzed, using Wisconsin [USA] death certificate data. Results failed to show an overall increase in malignant neoplasms but elevated risk was found for cancers of the kidney and genitals (unspecified), along with a smaller excess of bladder and skin cancer and lymphosarcoma.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
