description | This paper reports a survey of nasal cancer in Northamptonshire during the period 1950-79. An increased risk of various histological types of nasal tumour has been observed within the footwear manufacturing industry, which seems to be limited to the minority of men and women exposed to the dust of leather soles and heels. In Northamptonshire this exposure has usually occurred in the preparation, press and finishing rooms of factories making boots and shoes by the welted process. This type of leather is tanned by treatment with vegetable extracts, not chrome salts. Although the population of workers involved has diminished over the period of the study there has been no evidence of a decline in incidence of these tumours within it. |
