Heavy metals, welding fumes, and other occupational exposures, and the risk of kidney cancer : A population-based nested case-control study in three Nordic countries
Objectives: To determine whether occupational exposure to heavy metals (chromium (VI), iron, nickel, lead) and welding fumes is associated with the risk of kidney cancer and to describe whether other occupational exposures included in the Job Exposure Matrix of the Nordic Occupational Cancer (NOCCA)...
