Statistical association between cancer incidence and major-cause mortality, and estimated residential exposure to air emissions from petroleum and chemical plants.

Six cancers show an increasing trend at p < 0.10, all-site cancer incidence increases significantly as esti- mated exposure to petroleum and chemical air emissions increases, and there is no cancer site for which the age-adjusted rates have a decreas- ing trend with p < 0.10.

two cancers whose rates are greater in area 2 than in either area 3 or area 4, and for which there are significant decreasing trends. The positive trend for buccal cavity and pharynx cancer could therefore have occurred by chance alone, but this explanation is less likely since there is also a positive trend in this cancer for males.
