Abstract
In a multicenter study on the occupational etiology of sinonasal cance r (s.n.c.) carried out in Italy, we collected information about three cases which had arisen among glass workers. an adenocarcinoma, a melan oma, and a squamocellular carcinoma. The three men worked many years a s mixers and/or batchers in artistic glass factories in Tuscany (Italy ). We propose a possible etiological role of arsenic dust. (C) 1996 Wi ley-Liss, Inc.
