- Abstract
The article presents a study on the exposure to iron and welding fumes and the risk of lung cancer. The research assessed the condition of a group of economically active Finnish men who participated in the national census in 1970. The participants' lung cancer cases were evaluated using Multivariate Poisson regressions. Results showed that occupational exposure to iron and welding fumes was related to the increase in lung cancer risk.
