Retrospective Cohort Mortality Study of Workers Engaged in Motion Picture Film Processing

Objective: To assess potential health risks associated with work in a large motion picture film-processing facility. Methods: A retrospective cohort mortality study was conducted during 1960-2000 among 2646 film workers. Job family categories, created from detailed employee work history information,...

description Objective: To assess potential health risks associated with work in a large motion picture film-processing facility. Methods: A retrospective cohort mortality study was conducted during 1960-2000 among 2646 film workers. Job family categories, created from detailed employee work history information, were used to evaluate chemical exposure patterns. Results: Overall mortality was as expected (standardized mortality ratio [SMR] = 1.1; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.0–1.2). Statistically significant associations were found for suicides (SMR = 2.0; 95 % CI = 1.2–3.0) among the hourly workers and AIDS (SMR = 5.3; 95% CI = 1.7–12.3) among the administrative workers. Film developers had increases of respiratory cancer (SMR = 1.9; 95% CI = 1.1-3.0) and suicides (SMR = 2.4; 95% CI = 1.0-4.7), whereas film assemblers had an increase in suicides (SMR = 2.4; 95% CI = 1.2–4.4) only. Conclusions: Excess deaths resulting from suicides and AIDS among the workforce suggest that nonoccupational influences may be involved in the mortality of this cohort and warrant further investigations.
