P D Morris, T D Koepsell, J R Daling

    Journal of the National Cancer Institute
    |June 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Exposure to pesticides, painter compounds, and carbon monoxide significantly increases multiple myeloma risk. This study identifies key toxic substances linked to this blood cancer, aiding prevention efforts.

    Area of Science:

    • Environmental Health
    • Epidemiology
    • Toxicology

    Background:

    • Multiple myeloma is a cancer of plasma cells.
    • Identifying environmental risk factors is crucial for understanding and preventing multiple myeloma.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the association between occupational and environmental toxic substance exposure and the risk of developing multiple myeloma.

    Main Methods:

    • A population-based, multicenter case-control study was conducted.
    • Interviews were completed with 698 multiple myeloma cases and 1,683 controls.
    • Toxic substance exposures were categorized with toxicologist assistance.

    Main Results:

    • Pesticide exposure showed a relative risk (RR) of 2.6 (95% CI = 1.5-4.6).

  • Exposure to painter compounds yielded an RR of 1.6 (95% CI = 1.1-2.4).
  • Carbon monoxide exposure had an RR of 1.8 (95% CI = 1.0-3.2).
  • Borderline significant associations were noted for metals and organically high polymers.

    • Conclusions:

    • Occupational and environmental exposures to pesticides, painter compounds, and carbon monoxide are associated with an increased risk of multiple myeloma.
    • Further research into specific chemical exposures may elucidate causal pathways.
    • These findings can inform public health interventions and workplace safety regulations.
