*Tb main types of exposure mentioned era those by which the association has been
.demonstrated. Th main routes of exposure given may not be the only ones by which such effects
could occur. ^Denotes indicative evidence
ot recorded in the survey: exposure very small in all cases except aflatoxins. *Ho. of workers exposed to nickel oxide: only about 230 workers exposed to nickel
.carbonyl Exposure very large but not characterized numerically
