Analysis of data obtained by linking the 1960 Swedish Census and the Swedish Cancer Registry has demonstrated an increased risk of pleural mesothelioma among pulp and paper workers. The present study was undertaken with the aim of revealing possible environmental risk factors. The work histories of the 25 cases identified earlier were reviewed. "Certain" or "probable" exposure to asbestos was found among 70% of these workers. The study illustrates how linkage of official registers can be used to identify new risk environments and encourage the establishment of preventive measures.
通过将1960年瑞典人口普查数据与瑞典癌症登记数据相联系而获得的数据分析表明，纸浆和造纸工人患胸膜间皮瘤的风险增加。本研究旨在揭示可能的环境风险因素。对之前确定的25例病例的工作经历进行了回顾。在这些工人中，70%被发现“确定”或“可能”接触过石棉。该研究说明了如何利用官方登记数据的关联来识别新的风险环境，并鼓励制定预防措施。
