| Abstract |
MD thesis. History of bladder tumours in the dye industry and incidence in France, USA, United Kingdom, Italy, USSR. Review of known bladder carcinogens (1- and 2-naphthylamine, benzidine, 4-aminobiphenyl or p-xenylamine and auramine) and probable carcinogens (o-dianisidine, 3,-3'-dichlorobenzidine, magenta, 2,3'-dimethylazobenzene, o-aminoazotoluene, acetylaminofluorene, 3,3'-dihydroxybenzidine, p-nitrobiphenyl). General remarks and review of chief theories of carcinogesis. Early diagnosis of occupational bladder cancer (microhaematuria, urinary cytology, routine cystoscopy). Report of various forms and stages of the pathological process, with concrete case histories. Prevention measures in dye production plant: enclosure; high ceilings to facilitate ventilation; walls impervious to carcinogens; regular washing of floors; prohibition of 2-naphthylamine (USSR and United Kingdom); handling of benzidine in paste form; protective clothing; showers after work. Hazards and their prevention at different production stages. French compensation system. |
