Subject index Environmental Studies

Table 17.1 depicts nine reports on findings of increased lung cancer incidences and mortdities in both battery and smelter workers with elevated Pb exposures and one report derived from Pb exposure monitoring analysis. These cohorts and other subjects were from Britain, Finland, Italy, Sweden, and the United States. Pb exposures were indexed by actual environmental measurements in air or measurements of Pb in blood and urine. A job-exposure matrix approach was employed in part of one study using a nested case—control approach.
