An assessment of the effect of improved working conditions on bladder tumor incidence in a benzidine manufacturing facility.
Bladder tumor cases at a dye manufacturing plant showed a statistically significant reduction in incidence of tumors following the advent of process changes and strict industrial hygiene control. A useful method of statistical analysis is employed which may have wider use, especially in cases lacking complete epidemiological data.
