This study updates mortality rates for 19,075 active and terminated workers at three refinary/petrochemical plants. Mortality rates of the workers were compared with both national and state rates. The results indicated deficits of deaths for all causes, all migration neoplasms, and respiratory and prostate cancer. The noteworthy finding was a statistically significant increase in leukemia amoung Lousiana male subjects (standardized mortality ratio [SMR], 181; 95% confidence interval [CI], 122 to 259), which showed suggestive trends of increasing SMRs with increasing tenure. This excess was largely due to increased chronic lymphocytic leukemia (SMR, 351; 95% CI, 168 to 645). The rate of kidney cancer remained elevated amoung Louisiana male subjects, but this finding was no longer significant, and there were no patterns in SMRs by tenure and latency. Mesothelioma was increased at the Louisiana (SMR, 198; 95% CI, 72 to 430) and Texas (SMR, 246; 95% CI, 99 to 507) locations. The leukemia findings have prompted a study of leukemia incidence at the Louisiana location.
