Abstract
The mortality risk among former workers of a factory with an adjoining galvanic activity has been assessed; several environmental analyses found in the site the presence of nickel and organochlorinated substances. The cohort followed by 1974 to 2016 is represented by 899 individuals in which there were 191 deaths: 140 males and 51 females. A risks analysis with elaboration of SMR between observed cases and the expected one referring to Piemonte region rates was performed. The excesses stratified by gender and task have highlighted enhanced cancer risk (especially lung and liver cancers) among men workers. For females, cancer risk is enhanced especially for pancreas, ovary, and total digestive tract cancers. The report confirms an increased risk between nickel and lung cancers and organochlorinated and liver cancer.
