Descrição: A retrospective cohort mortality study was conducted on 17,601 white and 4,722 nonwhite male workers in the Florida phosphate mining and chemical processing industry. Concerns about potential risks from naturally-occurring sources of ionizing radiation and anecdotal reports of lung cancer among workers prompted this investigation. Historical follow-up was conducted for the years 1949 to 1978. In comparison with U.S. rates, small excess of mortality rates of lung cancer were observed for white (standardized mortality ratio [SMR] equals 1.22) and nonwhite workers (SMR = 1.24); however, these excesses disappeared when contrasts were made with prevailing rates in Florida. Emphysema mortality was also slightly elevated in comparison with U.S. rates; the SMRs were 1.48 and 1.73 for white and nonwhite workers, respectively. Neither disease was related to overall length of employment. Detailed analyses of mortality in relation to work assignments are presented in the companion article.
