Mortality Patterns Among Petroleum Refinery and Chemical Plant Workers
Gary M. Marsh, PhD, Philip E. Enterline, PhD, and Dorothy McCraw, ms
A historical cohort study was conducted to evaluate the mortality experience of 6.831 employees of the Shell Oil Company, Deer Park. Texas, petroleum refinery and chem ical plant with emphasis on cancer mortality. Subjects were all workers with potential plant exposure who were employed for at least 3 months during 1948-72. Vita! status was determined as of 1201/83 for 98% of the cohort and death certificates were obtained for 95.4% of 1,180 observed deaths. The statistical analyses excluded 159 female study members. For all causes of death combined, all cancers combined, and for most of the nonmaiignant disease categories examined, there were deficits in mortality among re finery workers, chemical plant workers, and workers with experience in both areas. These deficits were generally most pronounced for chemical plant workers. An analysis of specific cancer sites revealed patterns of increased risk suggestive of a possible relationship between occupational exposures in the refinery and lympho-reticuiosarcoma. Patterns of increased risk were also observed among chemical plant workers for a category of lymphopoietic tissue cancers, including multiple myeloma, myelofibrosis, polycythemia vera, and certain non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. Some very limited evidence of a possible workplace association was also found among refinery workers for leukemia . and cancers of the central nervous system and biliary passages/liver. No evidence was found of an increased risk for cancer of the respiratory system or stomach or for malignant melanoma. A work history review of all suspect cancer excesses failed to identify any common work areas, job assignments, or exposure potentials, although the lack of detailed data on specific chemical exposures precluded accurate assessments of exposure-response.
Key words: petroleum refining, chemical industry, occupational risks. non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. polycythemia Vera, myelofibrosis
INTRODUCTION
There has been considerable interest in the question of possible excess malig nant disease risks among petroleum refinery and petrochemical plant workers. Since the early 1970s, this question has been addressed in a number of epidemiological
