| Abstract | Objective: We investigated the role of occupation in lung cancerogenesis in two Northern Italian areas. Methods: During 1990–1992, occupational histories were obtained for 1171 incident lung cancer cases (956 men, 176 women) and 1553 population controls (1253 men, 300 women) and were evaluated for having been employed in jobs entailing exposure to known or suspected lung carcinogens. A further exploratory analysis on other job titles and branches of industry was conducted. Results: Among men, we found a smoking-adjusted odds ratio (OR) of 2.1 (95% confidence interval: 1.6–2.8) for exposure to known carcinogens, corresponding to a population attributable risk of 9.5%(6.0–13.0). Non-ferrous metal workers and painters had a significantly increased risk. No association was found for exposure to suspected carcinogens. In the exploratory analysis, the OR was increased for cleaners (OR: 2.7; 1.0–7.4), bakers (5.7; 1.4–24), tailors (6.9; 1.2–39), plumbers and pipe fitters (2.6; 1.0–6.4), welders and flame–cutters (5.6; 2.1–15), dockers and freight handlers (1.7; 1.0–2.7) and construction workers (1.4; 1.1–1.9). Female glass workers, laundry/dry cleaners and workers in rubber industry had an increased risk. Conclusions: The study indicates that a sizable proportion of lung cancers among men may be due to occupational exposures and suggests that exposure to lung carcinogens occurs in different jobs in women compared to men. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
