Two hundred and seventy-one men seen in 1963, who worked in a pulp and a paper mill, were followed up ten years later, in 1973. Death certificates were obtained for those who died. There did not appear to be any increased mortality in the group, nor was there any increased specific cause of death. A morbidity study of 200 men seen at both times did not show any differences in respiratory symptoms or prevalence of chronic non-specific respiratory disease. Analysis of pulmonary function showed little, if any, difference between groups. Analysis of retired, deceased, and still-working categories did suggest that exposures to Cl2 or SO2 might have a slight adverse effect on pulmonary function.
1963年对在一家纸浆造纸厂工作的271名男性进行了观察，并于1973年，也就是十年后对他们进行了随访。为去世者获取了死亡证明。该组人群中似乎没有任何死亡率增加的情况，也没有任何特定死因的增加。对两次都接受观察的200名男性进行的发病率研究未显示出呼吸症状或慢性非特异性呼吸道疾病患病率有任何差异。肺功能分析表明，两组之间即便有差异也很小。对退休、去世和仍在职类别进行的分析确实表明，接触氯气或二氧化硫可能对肺功能有轻微不利影响。
