Meta-analysis in occupational epidemiology: a review of practice (2004)
McElvenny, Damien M., Armstrong, Ben G., Järup, Lars, Higgins, Julian P. T.
Objectives To describe past practice in meta-analyses found in occupational epidemiology, identifying the major issues that should be considered by researchers planning a meta-analysis in this...
Hazards of heavy metal contamination (2003)
The main threats to human health from heavy metals are associated with exposure to lead, cadmium, mercury and arsenic. These metals have been extensively studied and their effects on human health...
Cadmium overload and toxicity (2002)
Studies suggest that cadmium is associated with several clinical complications, primarily renal dysfunction and bone disease, but also some cancers. Cadmium toxicity has been associated with clinical...
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....
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...
Cadmium and lead in blood in relation to low bone mineral density and tubular proteinuria.
Alfvén, Tobias, Järup, Lars, Elinder, Carl-Gustaf
Long-term exposure to cadmium may cause kidney and bone damage. Urinary cadmium is commonly used as the dose estimate for the body burden of cadmium. However, elevated levels of cadmium in the urine...
