There was a highly significant trend in SMRs with a B(a)P index of exposure for lung cancer ( P < 0.001) and bladder cancer ( P < 0.001).
There was a highly significant trend in SMRs with a B(a)P index of exposure for lung cancer ( P < 0.001) and bladder cancer ( P < 0.001).
The trend for rectum and rectosigmoid junction was almost significant ( P = 0.06).
Non-Hodgkin lymphomas have been reported to occur more frequently than expected in Quebec but no trend with B(a)P cumulative exposures although a significant trend was noted with B(a)P in British Columbia but observed rates were below British Columbia rates.
There was a borderline significant trend of increased kidney cancer risk with increasing cumulative exposure to PAHs.
The risk of bladder cancer was related to CTPV cumulative exposure, as was the risk of lung cancer (with a trend of borderline significance), although the rate of lung cancer was similar to that of the British Columbia population.
