Hi all,
Someone sent me another article from Environmental Health News and on the
homepage I found the following article which is not about lead but is about
bladder cancer. Reference: http://www.environmentalhealthnews.org/
A study of over 1,200 bladder cancer patients in Spain finds a doubling of
bladder cancer risk associated with long-term exposure to chlorination
by-products. The patients exposures were compared with over 1200 controls,
using geographic information about trihalomethane levels. Residential THM
exposure through showering/bathing and swimming in pools were also
associated with elevated risks. American Journal of Epidemiology.
The link following the above paragraph goes to:
American Journal of Epidemiology Advance Access originally published online
on November 1, 2006
American Journal of Epidemiology 2007 165(2):148-156; doi:10.1093/aje/kwj364
Reference: http://aje.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/165/2/148
- here you can download the pdf of the full article:
Bladder Cancer and Exposure to Water Disinfection By-Products through
Ingestion, Bathing, Showering, and Swimming in Pools.
All the best
