Epidemiological studies have demonstrated protective effects of vegetables and fruit on risk of cancer, but underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Intervention studies have in some cases contradicted...
Gustavsson, Per, Nyberg, Fredrik, Pershagen, Göran, Schéele, Patrik, Jakobsson, Robert, Plato, Nils
This population-based case-referent study investigated the lung cancer risk associated with occupational exposure to asbestos, focusing on dose-response relations and the interaction with tobacco...
Occupational Exposure and Lung Cancer Risk: A Population-based Case-Referent Study in Sweden (2000)
Gustavsson, Per, Jakobsson, Robert, Nyberg, Fredrik, Pershagen, Göran, Järup, Lars, Schéele, Patrik
This case-referent study investigated the lung cancer risk from occupational exposure to diesel exhaust, mixed motor exhaust, other combustion products, asbestos, metals, oil mist, and welding fumes....
Cigar and Pipe Smoking and Lung Cancer Risk: a Multicenter Study From Europe (1999)
Boffetta, Paolo, Pershagen, Göran, Jöckel, Karl-Heinz, Forastiere, Francesco, Gaborieau, Valerie, Heinrich, Joachim, ...
BACKGROUND: Because limited information is available on the quantitative association between consumption of tobacco products other than cigarettes and lung cancer risk, we undertook a case-control...

Divergent results from ecologic and analytic studies on residential radon and lung cancer have created uncertainty in terms of risk assessment. The authors performed concurrent analyses on individual...
Smokeless tobacco practices are common in some parts of the world and the use seems to be increasing. Nicotine exposure is similar in smokeless tobacco users and smokers, often leading to strong...
We have discovered an error in our article on arsenic exposure, smoking, and lung cancer in smelter workers (1). Because of a computational error, table 4 on page 549 of our article is not valid....
Arsenic Exposure, Smoking, and Lung Cancer in Smelter Workers--A Case-Control Study (1991)
A cohort of 3,916 Swedish copper smelter workers employed for at least 3 months between 1928 and 1967 was followed up through 1981. Arsenic exposure was estimated for different time periods at each...
Hypertension and Exposure to Noise near Airports (HYENA): Study Design and Noise Exposure Assessment
Jarup, Lars, Dudley, Marie-Louise, Babisch, Wolfgang, Houthuijs, Danny, Swart, Wim, Pershagen, Göran, ...
An increasing number of people live near airports with considerable noise and air pollution. The Hypertension and Exposure to Noise near Airports (HYENA) project aims to assess the impact of...
Mortality in a region surrounding an arsenic emitting plant
Pershagen, Göran, Elinder, Carl-Gustaf, Bolander, Anne-Marie
The purpose of the investigation is to study whether an increased mortality from certain causes exists in an area around the Rönnskärsverken smelter works in northern Sweden. Founded in 1928, this...
