Cohort mortality study of Swedish pulp and paper mill workers—nonmalignant diseases

Cancer mortality in a Swedish cohort of pulp and paper mill workers

“…The overall mortality in the cohort was lower than in the reference population, despite an increased mortality from acute myocardial infarction among males in both the sulfate and sulWte mills (Andersson et al 2007), and there was no increase in mortality from malignancies. These Wndings are in accordance with the "healthy worker survival eVect" (HWSE) often observed in industrial cohorts, resulting in lower total mortality among them than in the general population (Checkoway et al 2004).…”

“…A more extensive description of the cohort can be found in Andersson et al (2007). Three of the mills are included in the IARC study.…”

“…The data presented in this article were obtained from a cohort study of four sulfate and four sulWte mills that examined main mill pulping process and department speciWc mortality and morbidity among Swedish pulp and paper mill workers (Andersson et al 2007). As many past cancer studies in pulp and paper mills were mortality studies, we present mortality data for malignant causes.…”

Joint effects of job strain and road-traffic and occupational noise on myocardial infarction

“…Myocardial infarction (MI) in relation to traffic or occupational noise exposure has been less well studied, but results of epidemiological studies show positive associations (10,(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26).…”

Sulfite Oxidase Activity of Cytochrome C: Role of Hydrogen Peroxide

“…Steroid-dependent asthmatics and children with chronic asthma are especially vulnerable to such toxicity [2]. Sulfite is also toxic to neurons and cardiovascular system [9][10][11][12][13][14]. The level of sulfite in serum was found to be unregulated in several disease conditions, such as pneumonia and end-stage renal failure [15,16].…”
