Occupational Groups or Jobs Linked to Carcinogen Exposure

Occupational Groups or Jobs Linked to Carcinogen Exposure """What are some instances of occupational exposures that have been linked to carcinogen exposure?

The following table includes examples of professions and occupational categories that are more likely to have been exposed to carcinogens. Please be aware that while this list was put together using data from reliable sources, it is not exhaustive. It displays connections between professions and common cancer-causing compounds that may have been utilized at work that have been noted in the literature. One does not always get cancer after being exposed to a carcinogen. More details are available in the OSH Answers on Occupational Cancer.
