A cohort mortality study of 2670 men in nine North American industrial sand plants resulted in 83 deaths from lung cancer 20 or more years after hire (standardized mortality ratio 139) and 37 deaths from silicosis (including seven from silico-tuberculosis). The lung cancer excess was unrelated to duration of employment and not found in all plants.Objectives: The primary aim was to determine whether lung cancer risk among these employees was related to quantitative estimates of crystalline silica exposure, after allowance for cigarette smoking. A secondary aim was to do the same for silicosis mortality, partly as a means of validating the estimated levels of exposure.
