Mortality from lymphohematopoietic neoplasms and other causes in a cohort of Laminated Plastic workers exposed to formaldehyde
Cancer Causes & Control, 2014Co-Authors: Enrico Pira, Canzio Romano, Federica Verga, Carlo La VecchiaAbstract:Purpose A possible relationship between exposure to formaldehyde and leukemia—particularly myeloid leukemia—as well as of lymphoid neoplasms has been debated and is still controversial. We thus examined the issue using data from a cohort of workers of a Laminated Plastic factory sited in Piedmont, northern Italy. Methods The study cohort included 2,750 subjects (2,227 men and 523 women) who worked in the factory between 1947 and 2011, for at least 180 days. Follow-up ended in May 2011, for a total of 70,933 person-years of observation. We computed standardized mortality ratios (SMR) and 95 % confidence intervals (CI) using national and (whenever available) Piedmont Region death rates. Results Overall, there were 417 deaths versus 493.4 expected ones (SMR = 84.5, 95 % CI 76.6–93.0). The SMRs were 79.8 (95 % CI 67.5–93.6) for total cancer mortality, 148.5 (95 % CI 68.0–282.2) for oral cavity and pharynx (three deaths were registered, but not confirmed, as nasopharyngeal cancer), 48.3 (95 % CI 13.1–123.7) for pancreas, 66.1 (95 % CI 13.6–193.0) for larynx, and 96.7 (95 % CI 72.0–127.2) for lung cancer. The SMR of all lymphohematopoietic malignancies was 68.6 (95 % CI 31.4–130.3; nine observed deaths). This tended to increase with duration of exposure and to decrease with period at first exposure, always remaining below 100. There were four deaths from lymphoma (SMR = 74.1, 95 % CI 20.1–189.6) and five deaths from leukemia (SMR = 92.4, 95 % CI 29.9–215.3). Conclusions We found no meaningful excess mortality from any lymphohematopoietic nor other neoplasms, except possibly for nasopharyngeal cancer.

optimization about multilayer Laminated film and getter device materials of vacuum insulation panel for using at high temperature
Journal of Materials Processing Technology, 2009Co-Authors: Kuninari Araki, Daigorou Kamoto, Shinichi MatsuokaAbstract:Abstract To comply with energy saving regulations, vacuum insulation panels (VIPs) have been used in refrigerators and automatic vending machines for some years now. VIPs for low-temperature applications are constructed from Laminated Plastic films, which are heat-welded together to maintain a vacuum inside. At high temperatures, the vacuum is lost and the performance of these panels degrades sharply. But recently there has been a demand for efficient insulation materials for use in hot-water equipment (e.g., vending machines, heat pumps, boilers and water heaters), which necessitates the study of Laminated Plastic films and getter devices for high-temperature VIPs. Measurements have been made of the allowable temperature limit of Plastic films and the release of water vapor and outgassing during temperature-programmed adsorption with different getter materials. Suitable Laminated films and getter device systems for high-temperature VIPs were chosen based on the results of these measurements, and their long-term reliability was evaluated by measuring the thermal conductivity at high temperature. As a result it was found that high-retort CPP and PBT films are the most suitable materials for use in the welded layers of high-temperature VIPs (105 °C).
