The current standard for exposure to coke oven emissions sets a permissible exposure of 150 micrograms benzene-soluble fraction of total particulate matter/m3. The major epidemiologic study that formed the basis for this standard including a review of the evidence of a dose-response relationship between exposure to coal tar pitch volatiles and lung cancer is reviewed. Particular attention was given to the selection of the cohort, follow-up procedures, and the evolution of the analysis.
当前焦炉排放物的暴露标准规定，总颗粒物中苯可溶部分的允许暴露量为150微克/立方米。本文回顾了形成该标准基础的主要流行病学研究，包括对煤焦油沥青挥发物暴露与肺癌之间剂量反应关系证据的审查。特别关注了队列的选择、随访程序以及分析的演变。
