(VPI) -- An official of the Kentucky Occupational Safety and Health Administration reports that the federal government has declared a rare liver cancer which has taken the lives of four Louisville B. F. Goodrich Co. employes as a new occupational disease. "Right now- the only four known cases of this disease are right here in Louisville, but this thing has tremendous implications nationally and internationally," said Dr. J. Bradford Block, medical con sultant for the Kentucky Oc cupational Safety and, Health Administration. ' Block said tht National Institute o f Occupational Safety and Health made the decision to label angiosar coma as an occupational disease during an all-day meeting in Washington. Block said two prominent pathologists from the National Institutes of Health and the National Cancer Institute confirmed that angiosarcoma, the liver cancer, took the lives of four employes who worked In the polyvinyl chloride process at the Goodrich plant here. He added that 13 plants across the nation manufacture vinyl chloride and another 15 use it in such a way as to ex pose their employes to it. , He said authorities estimate that as many as 6,500 workers have been exposed to vinyl chloride throughout the United States. Block said national health officials are placing special emphasis on results expected next week of further testing of 55 workers in the Louisville Goodrich plant, whose pre vious blood tests showed ab normalities. They were among 271 employes tested at the plant. The Louisville facility uses vinyl chloride in the pro cessing of a plastic for (manufacture of phonograph records and some food con tainers. Block said Goodrich com pany records-show at least 29 employes . at its Louisville installation have died of can cer since the facility went into operation in the 1940s. Of that number- 22, worked with vinyl chloride, Block said. He said the four whose deaths have been attributed to angiosarcoma all died within the last six years and all probably were exposed to high concentrations of vinyl chloride during clearing operations. Goodrich officials said the company's standards regard ing exposure to vinyl chloride are much stricter than the federal government's. The company said it enforces standards allowing a maxi mum exposure of 50 parts per million parts of air, compared with government standards of 500 parts per million parts of air.
