Abstract
The objective of this study is to examine the association between multiple jobholding and return-to-work (RTW) for workers with a work-related musculoskeletal disorder (MSD). We hypothesise that multiple jobholders (MJHs)...
Highlights
Long-term health risks of occupational exposures to uranium processing were examined to better understand potential differences with uranium underground miners and nuclear reactor workers
Higher radon decay products (RDP)-associated cardiovascular diseases (CVD) risks were observed for exposures 5–14 years prior to diagnosis compared to later exposures and among those employed
In the largest study of uranium processing workers to systematically examine radiation risks of multiple outcomes from RDP exposures and gamma-rays, estimated radiation risks were compatible with risks reported for uranium miners and nuclear reactor workers
Summary
Two cohort studies of workers from Port Hope, Canada (1950–1999) and Wismut, Germany (1946–2008) employed in uranium milling, refining, and processing were pooled. Poisson regression was used to evaluate the association between cumulative exposures to radon decay products (RDP) and gamma-rays and causes of death potentially related to uranium processing
