Mortality study of workers in a polyvinyl-chloride production plant.
Age-standardised mortality-rates for a population of 2100 male workers exposed to vinyl chloride for periods of up to 27 years do not show any excess of total or cause-specific mortality. 1 case of angiosarcoma of the liver was identified just outside the study period. There was no suggestion of an increased frequency of deaths from the more common malignant diseases.
