Excerpt
Excerpt: In our attempt to understand the potential human health risks of exposure to 1,8butadiene, we are quite fortunate to have available a considerable amount of toxicological and epidemiological data. In this latter regard, the update of the three available epidemiological studies (1-3) provides additional information on the mortality experience of workers with occupational 1,3- butadiene exposure. The purpose of this paper is to discuss future areas for epidemiological research. Some of the study areas have already been incorporated into the International Institute of Synthetic Rubber Producers (IISRP) epidemiology program, funded jointly by the IISRP and the butadiene monomer producers. Other study areas are longer term and await developments in related scientific fields.
