Résumé :
|
Employees currently working at a large municipal landfill expressed concern that they experience higher rates of illness than other municipal sanitation workers. Therefore, this study was designed to examine acute health effects among employees working at the New York City department of Sanitation, with special emphasis upon the landfill workers.Interviews conducted with 238 landfills and 262 off-site male employees asked questions about health symptoms experienced in the six months prior to the interview and about workplace exposures.
