Abstract
Previous studies reported on employee populations exposed coincidentally to vinylidene chloride in copolymer processes using vinyl chloride. This study examines the mortality and health examination findings of 138 employees exposed to measured levels of vinylidene chloride where vinyl chloride was not used as a copolymer. There were no findings statistically related or individually attributable to vinylidene chloride exposure in this cohort. In-depth medical surveillance will be continued on this employee population. Additional epidemiological studies should be undertaken to develop data on chronic exposure to vinylidene chloride.
