Why the data was released
Objective for processing
Our aim is to describe and interpret patterns of mortality and cancer incidence in extended follow-up of historical cohorts of workers exposed to styrene, phenoxy herbicides and formaldehyde. The information obtained will be used to inform regulatory risk assessment and management for the chemicals, both in the UK and internationally. Optimal risk management is important since workers must be adequately protected, but at the same time, unwarranted restrictions on exposure could have adverse impacts on people's quality of life.
