To make a preliminary determination as to whether a potential health hazard exists for workers exposed to dry cleaning solvents (carbon tetrachloride, trichloroethylene, and tetrachloroethylene), we analyzed the causes of death of 330 deceased laundry and dry cleaning workers by the proportionate mortality method. The increased risk for malignant neoplasms resulted primarily from an excess of lung and cervical cancer and slight excesses of leukemia and liver cancer. Although the number of deaths was small, the increased risk of cancer noted in this investigation underscores the need for additional epidemiologic studies of this occupational group.
为了初步确定接触干洗溶剂（四氯化碳、三氯乙烯和四氯乙烯）的工人是否存在潜在健康危害，我们采用比例死亡率法分析了330名已故洗衣和干洗工人的死因。恶性肿瘤风险增加主要源于肺癌和宫颈癌过多，以及白血病和肝癌略有增加。尽管死亡人数较少，但本次调查中发现的癌症风险增加凸显了对该职业群体进行更多流行病学研究的必要性。
