- Abstract
The article examines mortality among pulp and paper mill workers according to the mail mill pulping process, department, and gender. It states that death from acute myocardial infarction was increased, which was probably related to a combination of different occupational exposures such as dust, sulfur compounds, shift work and noise. It is concluded that the study supports earlier indications of fatal cardiovascular effects among pulp and paper mill workers.
