Four new or updated epidemiologic studies were presented at a meeting on the health effects of gasoline exposure held in Miami, Florida, November 5-8, 1991. A focus of these studies was whether there is a relationship between gasoline exposure and kidney cancer and leukemia. For gasoline distribution workers, who have a relatively high exposure, there was some evidence for a kidney cancer relationship in three studies but none in the fourth. There was evidence for an acute myelocytic leukemia relationship in three studies. The fourth study dealt only with kidney cancer. It is possible that the benzene content of gasoline was responsible for the leukemia findings. It is uncertain whether gasoline exposure is a cause of kidney cancer.
1991年11月5日至8日在佛罗里达州迈阿密举行的一次关于汽油暴露对健康影响的会议上,公布了四项新的或更新的流行病学研究。这些研究的一个重点是汽油暴露与肾癌和白血病之间是否存在关联。对于暴露程度相对较高的汽油配送工人,三项研究中有证据表明存在肾癌关联,但第四项研究中没有。三项研究中有证据表明存在急性髓细胞白血病关联。第四项研究仅涉及肾癌。汽油中的苯含量可能是白血病研究结果的原因。目前尚不确定汽油暴露是否是肾癌的病因。
