Raised mortality from lung cancer and high sex ratios of births associated with industrial pollution

O L Lloyd et al. Br J Ind Med. 1985 Jul.

Abstract

Geographical and temporal associations were shown between high mortality from lung cancer and a high sex ratio of births both in the town of Bathgate (Scotland) and in the area of that town which was most exposed to polluted air from a local steel foundry. These findings constituted a replication of a similar association in an adjacent town.
