Health Outcomes in Former New Zealand Timber Workers Exposed To Pentachlorophenal (PCP) |
Concerns remain about chronic health problems experienced by former timber workers who were exposed to pentachlorophenol (PCP) when it was used as an anti-sapstain fungicide treatment in saw mills. The Health Research Council, on behalf of the Department of Labour, issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a research project aimed at clarifying whether the health effects were real and whether they were associated with the PCP exposure. The Centre for Public Health Research was subsequently awarded a contract to conduct: (i) an historical cohort study of mortality (deaths); and (ii) a cross-sectional morbidity survey of current health problems in a randomly selected sample of former sawmill workers from the cohort study. The latter survey included: (iii) the collection of serum samples for dioxin testing. More |
