Population attributable risks (PARs) and odds ratios (ORs) were calculated from the data of the present study and summarized from previously published studies for different occupations and occupational exposures, partly stratified by gender (M: Male, F: Female). Numbers in brackets refer to the publications in which the PARs and ORs were published.
More exactly, Aluminium Workers (Soderberg Processing).
