..89%, 95% confidence interval, CI: 3.69, 10.04), or by the simple 'dichotomization'-method (6.88%, 95%CI: 3.81, 9.84). The method is very easy to apply to population-based case-referent studies analyzed by logistic regression...

..However, no exposure assessment was performed, and future follow up is necessary for evaluation of long term risks...

..15 (95% CI: 0.77, 1.72) times that predicted from the sum of their individual effects and 0.31 (95% CI: 0.11, 0.86) times that predicted from their product, indicating a joint effect between additivity and multiplicativity...

..No increased risk was found for the other exposure factors. An overall attributable proportion of 9.5% (95% CI: 5.5, 13.9) was estimated for lung cancer related to diesel exhaust, other combustion products, and asbestos...

..Ambient particulate air pollution has been linked to cardiovascular disease. Occupational particle exposure levels may be several times higher than ambient levels but has been less studied...

..The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of myocardial infarction (MI) among cooks and other restaurant workers...

..Very high levels of airborne particles have been detected in the subway system in Stockholm. Subway particles are more toxic to DNA in cultured human lung cells than particles from ambient air...

..5 microm (PM(2.5)), particles in size 0.1-10 microm, elemental carbon (EC) and total carbon (TC)] and nitrogen dioxide (NO(2)), in the various occupational environments...

..If neither of these are possible, the woman has a right to compensation from the Social Insurance Office. Self-employed women are currently excluded from this right...

..Professional drivers are at an increased risk of myocardial infarction but the underlying causes for this increased risk are uncertain...

..The results indicate that GIS can be useful for exposure assessment in environmental epidemiology studies, provided that detailed geographically related exposure data are available for relevant time periods...

..Mechanisms for potential effects of extremely low frequency (ELF) magnetic fields on carcinogenesis have not been identified. A potential pathway could be an interaction with the endocrine system...

..To investigate time trends in the incidence of first myocardial infarction (MI) among bus, taxi, and lorry drivers in Stockholm...

..The reason for the excess of cardiovascular deaths in the high-exposure group is not known and deserves evaluation in future studies...

..Exposure to dynamite and organic solvents was possibly associated with an increased risk. The other exposures were not consistently associated with myocardial infarction...

....

..This community based case-referent study was initiated to investigate aetiological factors for squamous cell carcinoma of the upper gastrointestinal tract...

..Previous studies have suggested an excess of brain tumors and hematopoietic system malignancies as well as breast cancers in women...

..To investigate cancer incidence in workers exposed to high levels of extremely low frequency magnetic fields (ELF-MF)...

..The unusual opportunity to include genetic susceptibility in the present analyses showed that evaluations of effect modification in vulnerable subjects are warranted in ELF magnetic field research...

..In this case, a rare source of lead exposure was found. In investigations of blood lead elevations of unknown origin, we recommend abdominal X ray in parallel with repeated blood lead determinations...

..Results from this study suggest that the Swedish version is useful for assessment of caregiver reactions but needs further refinement...

..The aim of this study was to investigate whether occupational exposure to UV light reduces the risk of death from MS...

..We evaluated the relation between ELF-MF from occupational exposures and mortality from neurodegenerative diseases...

..Also, it is necessary to confirm these results in epidemiological studies with individual exposure assessments, and in experimental studies that may elucidate whether there is a true causal mechanism for the results we observed...

..This study sought to ascertain the risk of thyroid cancer in relation to occupational exposure to ionizing radiation and extremely low-frequency magnetic fields (ELFMF) in a cohort representative of Sweden's gainfully employed population...

..Few occupational studies have addressed melanoma in women. Accordingly, our aim was to identify occupations with higher risk of cutaneous melanoma, overall and by site, in Swedish female workers...

..The objective was to estimate occupational-specific risk of gliomas and meningiomas among Swedish men and women gainfully employed in 1970 over the period 1971-1989, and the influence of occupational exposure to chemical substances...

..This situation has caused concern for negative health effects among subway staff. The aim of this study was to investigate whether there is an increased incidence of myocardial infarction among subway drivers...

..Cutaneous melanoma (CM) is a cancer usually associated with high socio-economic level in the literature. Few studies have, however, assessed this relationship by gender and site or the association between CM and rurality...

..The objective of this study was to identify occupations and industries with increased incidence of thyroid cancer in Swedish workers...
