Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
This review describes the authors' experience with 2,000 cases of benzene poisoning reported between 1983 and 1995 in Cubatão, an industrial section of São Paulo, Brazil, investigated through the integration of epidemiology and clinical research. Conflicting economic interests were reflected in disputes about medical criteria for evaluation of poisoned workers, about proper means of conducting workplace hygiene evaluations, about benzene exposure standards, and about compensation for chronic bone-marrow damage. |
