Abstract:
What's new? Evidence of the higher risk of bladder cancer among occupational groups remains limited. In this large population‐based study, the authors assessed the relationship between occupational exposure to solvents (aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbon solvents, aromatic hydrocarbon solvents, benzene, chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents, other organic solvents, perchloroethylene, trichloroethylene and 1,1,1‐trichloroethane) and the risk of bladder cancer using a Nordic job exposure matrix. They found evidence of an association between occupational exposure to trichloroethylene, perchloroethylene, aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbon solvents, benzene and toluene and bladder cancer risk. Among these solvents, only benzene and trichloroethylene are currently classified as Group 1 carcinogens to humans.
