Male participants in the NCI National Bladder Cancer study wereevaluated for risks in auto and truck mechanic and in chemicallyrelated exposure occupations compared with those who had neverworked in these areas. In nonsmokers the adjusted rate ratios(RR) for mechanics equalled 1.33, (95% CI 0.77, 2.31). The adjustedRR in the nonsmoker chemically related group was 1.53 (95% CI1.13, 2.07). Duration of exposure as a mechanic was not clearlyassociated with bladder cancer risk regardless of smoking status.
