“…27 Recently, an increase in biliary tract malignancies has been associated with cutting-oil mist in auto-industry workers. 28 An analysis of specific occupations or industries associated with an increased incidence of cholangiocarcinoma should be undertaken to explore the possibility that occupational exposure to industrial chemicals may have played a causal role. Furthermore, geographic disparities in mortality from biliary tract malignancies have become more prominent in recent years.…”

Clinical observations suggest a recent increase in intrahepatic biliary tract malignancies. Thus, our aim was to determine recent trends in the epidemiology of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma in the United States. Reported data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program and the United States Vital Statistics databases were analyzed to determine the incidence, mortality, and survival rates of primary intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. Between 1973 and 1997, the incidence and mortality rates from intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma markedly increased, with an estimated annual percent change (EAPC) of 9.11% (95% CI, 7.46 to 10.78) and 9.44% (95%, CI 8.46 to 10.41), respectively. The age-adjusted mortality rate per 100,000 persons for whites increased from 0.14 for the period 1975-1979 to 0.65 for the period 1993-1997, and that for blacks increased from 0.15 to 0.58 over the same period. The increase in mortality was similar across all age groups above age 45. The relative 1-and 2-year survival rates following diagnosis from 1989 to 1996 were 24.5% and 12.8%, respectively. In conclusion, there has been a marked increase in the incidence and mortality from intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma in the United States in recent years. This tumor continues to be associated with a poor prognosis. (HEPATOLOGY 2001;33:1353-1357

“…The results showed that 11.5% of the samples did not meet air quality standards. Long-term exposure to particulate matter may cause asthma, heart disease, laryngeal cancer, bronchial hyper-responsiveness, and lung cancer (Kazerouni et al, 2000;Davidsona et al, 2005;Chen et al, 2007;Buonanno et al, 2011;Wendt et al, 2014). Thus, it is very important to study airborne particulate matter in factories.…”

High concentrations of airborne particulate matter in factories can cause serious health problems for workers. One significant reason for these high concentrations is the poor performance of the ventilation systems in workplaces. This investigation developed a strategy that combines computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and on-site measurements to study and improve the ventilation performance in factories. The CFD simulations were able to predict the flow field and particle distributions in factories with complex layouts. The corresponding on-site measurements were performed to provide boundary conditions for the CFD simulations and to obtain key data about airflow and air quality for validating the simulations. This study used the strategy to improve ventilation performance in an automotive parts factory. Three ventilation systems were studied: a roof exhaust system, combined roof exhaust and air recirculation systems, and combined roof exhaust and displacement ventilation systems. This study found that the combined roof exhaust and displacement ventilation systems provided acceptable indoor air quality and thermal comfort levels in the factory.

“…As in the case of galvanizing installations, these types of metal industries use metalworking fluids (MWFs), a range of oils and other chemical substances used to cool and/or lubricate metal workpieces when they are being machined, ground, milled, etc., and known to be carcinogens in humans (Savitz 2003). Some occupational studies have found excess of lung cancer mortality among workers exposed to certain types of MWFs and mineral oils (Acquavella et al 1993;DHHS (NIOSH) 1998;Kazerouni et al 2000;Tolbert 1997). Furthermore, one study detected a slightly increased lung cancer mortality rate in United Steel production and founding Bold values indicate significant results and different sectors a ORs were estimated from a multiple logistic regression model that included age, sex, hospital area, tobacco consumption, family history of cancer, area of residence, and occupation b Intersection area between industrial area corresponding to each industrial sector and urban area…”

Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related death and thus a major public health problem. While lung cancer frequency might be partially attributable to smoking habit and occupational exposure, the role of industrial pollution also needs to be assessed. To ascertain the possible effect of residential proximity to industrial installations on lung cancer risk in Asturias, an industrial region in Spain, taking into account the type of industrial activity and carcinogenic substances released. We conducted a hospital-based case-control study covering 700 lung cancer patients and 700 controls recruited in Asturias, matched individually by ethnicity, hospital, age, and sex. Distances were computed from the respective participants' residential locations to the 48 industrial facilities governed by the Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control Act 16/2002 and included in the European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register, and located in the study areas. Using logistic regression, odds ratios (ORs) and 95 % confidence intervals (95 % CIs) were calculated and adjusted for sex, age, hospital area, tobacco consumption, family history of cancer, area of residence, and occupation. Excess risk of lung cancer was observed for individuals living near industrial installations (OR = 1.43; 95 % CI = 1.08-1.89), particularly metal industries (OR = 1.40; 95 % CI = 1.05-1.87), cement plants (OR = 4.81; 95 % CI = 1. 20-19.19), and shipyards (OR = 1.69; 95 % CI = 1.17-2.43). Residents living close to industrial facilities releasing dioxins displayed a high, though nonstatistically significant, excess risk of lung cancer (OR = 1.62; 95 % CI = 0.86-3.07). This study suggests a possible association between lung cancer risk and proximity to industrial installations, specifically metal industries, cement plants, and shipyards.
