"The 9th International symposium happily continued the outstanding tradition of the earlier meetings on Epidemiology in Occupational Health. Over two hundred and fifty epidemiologists from the United States were joined by over a hundred and fifty of their colleagues from all over the world at this meeting. In preparing for this symposium, we were struck by the growing diversity of occupational epidemiology which is being applied to an increasingly diverse set of problems ranging from work-related psychological disorders to traumatic injuries. This variety is reflected in this book. From the perspective of the three sponsoring organizations, the Scientific Committee on Epidemiology in Occupational Health (ICOH), the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, and the Department of Environmental Health at the University of Cincinnati, the meeting was a success because the scientific information presented at the meeting enhanced our understanding of the causation and prevention of occupational health and safety problems." This collection of reports presents the proceedings of the 9th International Symposium on Epidemiology in Occupational Health. Invited lectures were presented concerning the work relatedness of airways dysfunction, characterizing occupational exposures for epidemiological purposes, biomarkers and molecular epidemiology of cancer, epidemiology as a tool for occupational standard setting, and the psychosocial work environment and cardiovascular disease. Plenary presentations were offered on cohort study design, mortality studies of machine fluids, job stress and cardiovascular risk, mortality for radiation workers, lung function among insulation workers, childhood cancer and paternal exposure to ionizing radiation, use of multiple cause mortality data in epidemiologic analyses, measurement and evaluation of symptom intensity to improve understanding of acute respiratory health effects, and physical job demands related to pregnancy outcome. Extended abstracts were included for cancers, methods of study, exposure assessment, neurotoxins, cytotoxins and solvents, reproductive disorders, musculoskeletal disorders, agriculture, respiratory diseases, injuries, respiratory disorders, cardiovascular diseases, surveillance, solvents and noise, physical and mental stressors, and metals.
