Description:Originally published February 9, 1974, reprinted February 7, 1997 with editorial note by Philip J. Landrigan.
As part of its commemoration of CDC’s 50th anniversary, MMWR is reprinting selected MMWR articles of Historyical interest to public health, accompanied by current editorial notes.
Reprinted below is a report published February 9, 1974, which described the investigation of a cluster of cases of angiosarcoma of the liver among polyvinyl chloride workers in Kentucky, followed by a contemporary editorial note. The report illustrates the public health process in occupational safety and health—progressing from the initial observation of a new problem by informed clinicians through follow-up epidemiologic and toxicologic investigations to a targeted regulatory response, which virtually eliminated the newly recognized problem.
1997 Editorial Note by Philip J Landrigan, MD, MSc, Chairman, Department of Community Medicine, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York, and former Director, Division of Surveillance, Hazard Evaluations, and Field Studies, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, CDC.
