“…The first reports appeared in England in the I960s (1,2,13), and similar findings were made in the Netherlands (6) and France (9). Consistent observations have followed from many other countries, eg, Denmark (19), Australia (11), the United States (5), Sweden (8), and the German Democratic Republic 1 (12).…”

“…A causal association between employment in the furniture industry and adenocarcinoma of t h e nose and sinuses was reported by Acheson e t al i n Great Britain (1) and subsequently confirmed by other authors; an evaluation of the literature of the last 15 years can be found in a recent monograph by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (7). The excess risk was mainly found among people exposed to wood dust.…”

“…Work in wood-related occupations has been reported to be associated with nasal and nasopharyngeal cancers [Acheson et al, 1967;Brinton et al, 1977;Roush et al, 1980;Elwood, 1981;Brinton et al, 1984;Vaughan and Davis, 1991;Sriamporn et al, 1992]. Chlorophenols, used as wood preservatives, are one of the suspected exposures within wood-related occupations.…”

Background Elevated rates of nasal and nasopharyngeal cancers have been associated with wood‐related occupational exposures, including chlorophenols, formaldehyde, and wood dust. Methods Occupational information was obtained from 43 nasal carcinoma cases, 92 nasopharyngeal carcinoma cases, and 1909 controls, by interview. Exact conditional logistic regression was used to evaluate the association of these cancers with chlorophenol exposure, estimated from a review of verbatim responses. Results Both nasal and nasopharyngeal cancers were significantly associated with estimated duration of chlorophenol exposure. For nasopharyngeal cancer, elevated risk was observed among those who held jobs assigned medium or high intensity chlorophenol exposure (nexposed=18, OR=1.94, 95% CI=1.03–3.50) and among those with 10+ years in jobs assigned high intensity with high certainty (nexposed=3, OR=9.07, 95% CI=1.41–42.9). Controlling for estimated formaldehyde and wood dust exposure did not alter these findings, as much of the estimated chlorophenol exposure was among machinists. Conclusions These findings support the hypothesis that occupational exposure to chlorophenol is a risk factor for nasal and nasopharyngeal cancer, although the role of machining‐related exposures warrants further assessment.
