All employees had worked for at least 6 months with some employment between 1973 and 1982. Standardized registration ratios (SRRs) were calculated based on national rates.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Overall cancer morbidity was slightly below expectation in males. Significant excesses were found in male workers for mesothelioma (observed [Obs] 763, SRR 326), skin cancer (non-melanoma) (Obs 5616, SRR 106), and prostate cancer (Obs 4298, SRR 106), and in female workers for cancer of the small intestine (Obs 13, SRR 220), nasal cancer (Obs 11, SRR 407), and breast cancer (Obs 758, SRR 110). More detailed analyses showed important contrasts, particularly for mesothelioma, lung cancer, skin cancer, prostate cancer and breast cancer.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A clear occupational excess of mesothelioma was not matched by a corresponding excess of asbestos-induced lung cancer. Confident interpretation of the excesses of cancers of the nasal cavities and small intestine is not possible, although occupational exposures received in this industry may well not be involved. An excess of skin cancer in transmission workers may be associated with outdoor working.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/occmed\/kqz082","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,28]],"date-time":"2019-05-28T07:11:01Z","timestamp":1559027461000},"page":"342-351","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Cancer incidence in UK electricity generation and transmission workers, 1973\u20132015"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"69","author":[{"given":"T M","family":"Sorahan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Applied Health Research, University of Birmingham, Edgbaston, Birmingham, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"2019091012345690400_CIT0001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"550","DOI":"10.1093\/oxfordjournals.aje.a117046","article-title":"Cancer risks associated with occupational exposure to magnetic fields among electric utility workers in Ontario and Quebec, Canada, and France: 1970\u20131989","volume":"139","author":"Th\u00e9riault","year":"1994","journal-title":"Am J Epidemiol"},{"key":"2019091012345690400_CIT0002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"123","DOI":"10.1093\/oxfordjournals.aje.a117400","article-title":"Magnetic field exposure in relation to leukemia and brain cancer mortality among electric utility workers","volume":"141","author":"Savitz","year":"1995","journal-title":"Am J Epidemiol"},{"key":"2019091012345690400_CIT0003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"534","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1097-0274(199705)31:5<534::AID-AJIM6>3.0.CO;2-T","article-title":"Mortality among a cohort of electric utility workers, 1960\u20131991","volume":"31","author":"Kelsh","year":"1997","journal-title":"Am J Ind Med"},{"key":"2019091012345690400_CIT0004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"548","DOI":"10.1093\/oxfordjournals.aje.a009486","article-title":"Risk of cancer among Danish utility workers\u2014a nationwide cohort study","volume":"147","author":"Johansen","year":"1998","journal-title":"Am J Epidemiol"},{"key":"2019091012345690400_CIT0005","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"307","DOI":"10.1136\/oem.58.5.307","article-title":"Leukaemia mortality in relation to magnetic field exposure: findings from a study of United Kingdom electricity generation and transmission workers, 1973\u201397","volume":"58","author":"Harrington","year":"2001","journal-title":"Occup Environ Med"},{"key":"2019091012345690400_CIT0006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"626","DOI":"10.1136\/oem.58.10.626","article-title":"Occupational exposure to magnetic fields relative to mortality from brain tumours: updated and revised findings from a study of United Kingdom electricity generation and transmission workers, 1973\u201397","volume":"58","author":"Sorahan","year":"2001","journal-title":"Occup Environ Med"},{"key":"2019091012345690400_CIT0007","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"93","DOI":"10.1002\/ajim.10314","article-title":"Mortality from cardiovascular disease in relation to magnetic field exposure: findings from a study of UK electricity generation and transmission workers, 1973\u20131997","volume":"45","author":"Sorahan","year":"2004","journal-title":"Am J Ind Med"},{"key":"2019091012345690400_CIT0008","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"820","DOI":"10.1136\/oem.2006.031559","article-title":"Mortality from Alzheimer\u2019s, motor neuron and Parkinson\u2019s disease in relation to magnetic field exposure: findings from the study of UK electricity generation and transmission workers, 1973\u20132004","volume":"64","author":"Sorahan","year":"2007","journal-title":"Occup Environ Med"},{"key":"2019091012345690400_CIT0009","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"723","DOI":"10.1136\/oem.2006.028209","article-title":"Occupational risk factors in Alzheimer\u2019s disease: a review assessing the quality of published epidemiological studies","volume":"64","author":"Santib\u00e1\u00f1ez","year":"2007","journal-title":"Occup Environ Med"},{"key":"2019091012345690400_CIT0010","volume-title":"ELF Electromagnetic Fields and the Risk of Cancer: Report of an Advisory Group on Non-ionising Radiation","author":"National Radiological Protection Board","year":"2001"},{"key":"2019091012345690400_CIT0011","volume-title":"IARC Monographs on the Evaluation of Carcinogenic Risks to Humans.
