Some Observations on the incidence of respiratory Cancer in Nickel Workers

Abstract

By far the greater part of all nickel refined in this country is dealt with by the Mond Nickel Company at their Clydach Refinery, near Swansea in South Wales. An inquiry at Clydach works has revealed the following facts: (a) No case of nose cancer has occurred among men who first entered employment there after 1925; (b) the incidence of lung cancer among these same men has been no higher than that in the country as a whole.
