Imperial Chemical Industries did an epidemiology study of all VC and FVC workers exposed between 1962 and 1972 without indication of a signifi cant increase in deaths due to cancer.
They also did an epidemiology study of all VC workers exposed b tween 1946 and 1971 without a significant increase in deaths due to cancer.
Unfortunately the number of workers involved was not large enough to provide statistically conclusive results.
The hope is that these workers can be incorporated into the Tabershaw-Cooper study in the U.S. f or increased accuracy.
I think the weight in the Environmental Impact Study given to car cinogens is out of proportion to the liver disfunction problem shown on the attached documentation for threshold limit of VC.
