“…22 Methylene chloride, the main constituent of furniture strippers, 13 is also a possible carcinogen, 23 and trichloroethylene, which may be found in paints and varnishes, 24 has been found to cause cancer in animals. 23 As the first large case-control study of childhood ALL evaluating associations with hobbies and household activities that may involve carcinogenic solvent exposures, our study is primarily exploratory.…”

A B S T R A C TObjectives. This study explored the risk of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) associated with participation by household members in hobbies or other home projects involving organic solvents.Methods. Participants in this casecontrol study were 640 subjects with ALL and 640 matched controls.Results. Childhood ALL was associated with frequent (>4 times/month) exposure to model building (odds ratio [OR] = 1.9; 95% confidence interval [95% CI] = 0.7, 5.8) and artwork using solvents (OR = 4.1; 95% CI = 1.1, 15.1). We also found elevated risk (OR = 1.7; 95% CI=1.1, 2.7) among children whose mothers lived in homes painted extensively (>4 rooms) in the year before the children's birth.Conclusions. In this exploratory study, substantial participation by household members in some common household activities that involve organic solvents was associated with elevated risks of childhood ALL.

A case-control interview study of 125 adult patients with acute leukemia and 125 controls matched with respect to age (-+ four years), sex, and residence was carried out in central Sweden during the period from September 1980 to May 1983. Their history of organic solvent exposure is described. A significant overrisk of developing acute leukemia was found when comparison between patients and controls revealed a difference in the solvent exposure rate, which was significantly higher in patients than in controls, with an estimated odds ratio (OR) of 4.9,95% CI (2.2 to 12.1). The most frequently exposed profession, painters, exhibit a relative risk of 13 (2.0 to 554). These results suggest that an etiologic relationship exists between organic solvent exposure and the development of acute leukemia in man.
