Cancer risks based on 2008 EU estimates of typical case scenario exposures in various industries that commonly used antimony trioxide²⁶

Industry	20-year exposure	40-year exposure
Sb₂O₃ production
Conversion	0.0026	0.0052
Refining/refuming	0.0012	0.0023
Product handling	0.0039	0.0077
Flame retardants in rubber
Formulation	0.0049	0.0098
Processing	0.0062	0.012
Flame retardants in plastics/textiles, handling/formulation	0.013	0.025

Cancer risks were calculated for 20 and 40 years of exposure. Online supplemental table S5 provides EU occupational exposure estimates used in risk calculations.
