Epidemiological research on cancer risk by aldol and aliphatic aldehydes.
This report concerns the frequency of cancers in an aldehyde factory. The epidemiological evidence raises the suspicion that acetaldol is a possible carcinogen. There may be also syncarcinogenic effects of some aliphatic aldehydes, probably in combination with some air pollutants.
