Personnel lists from four PVC-processing industries were collected on production of employees with at least three months of employment at the beginning of 1945 and the last day of employment December 31, 1974. Of 2073 persons, 103 could not be followed up, because they had moved abroad. The remaining persons comprise the cohort of 1970 individuals who were analyzed and compared with the national population with respect to mortality from various diseases and cancer morbidity. The death risk from myocardial infarction is elevated in the cohort. This elevation is most clearly apparent in the subcohort which had at least two years of exposure time and where the analysis was directed at circumstances chronologically close to the time of exposure. The myocardial infarction risk related to vinyl chloride exposure is discussed in relation to earlier studies on the vascular effects of vinyl chloride. An indication of an elevated risk of morbidity and mortality from tumors in the digestive organs is also present. However, this is not statistically confirmed. A few future follow-ups of the present study are necessary in order to clarify any possible elevated risk of tumors in the PVC-processing industry.
