Abstract

A preliminary study of 324 Swedish railway workers exposed to herbicides between the years 1957-1971 showed 2 excess lung cancer cases, 1 adenocarcinoma and 1 oatcellcancer. Although the number of subjects was small, especially the number of cancers, the possibility that amitrole and combinations together with smoking might have caused the excess lung cancers cannot be ruled out.
