01/01/2023 - "Mandel and Odo noted that studies of taconite miners in Minnesota have revealed an excess rate of mesothelioma, but the role of non-asbestiform EMPs in this excess incidence of mesothelioma is unclear. "
12/15/2018 - "The overall findings suggest that mesothelioma in taconite miners is related to EMP exposure. "
12/15/2018 - "Increased mesothelioma rates have been described in Minnesota taconite workers since the late 1990s. "
02/01/2016 - "These results support an association between mesothelioma and employment duration and possibly EMP exposure in taconite mining and processing. "
02/01/2016 - "Mesothelioma was associated with the number of years employed in the taconite industry (RR=1.03, 95% CI 1.00 to 1.06) and cumulative EMP exposure (RR=1.10, 95% CI 0.97 to -1.24). "

11/01/1983 - "This study does not suggest any increase in cancer mortality from taconite exposure."
11/01/2015 - "Taconite workers may have an increased risk for certain cancers. "
11/01/2015 - "We evaluated cancer incidence between 1988 and 2010 in a cohort of 40,720 Minnesota taconite mining workers used between 1937 and 1983. "
11/01/2015 - "To evaluate cancer incidence among Minnesota taconite mining workers. "
11/01/2015 - "Cancer incidence among Minnesota taconite mining industry workers."

09/01/2015 - "This study suggests that the estimated taconite mining exposures do not increase the risk of developing lung cancer."
09/01/2015 - "Occupational exposures and lung cancer risk among Minnesota taconite mining workers."
10/01/2008 - "Taconite miners have shown no increased risk of mortality due to lung cancer."
12/01/1992 - "Separate analyses were made of total deaths, lung cancer deaths, and kidney cancer deaths in men who had worked with taconite for time periods of less than 1 year, 1-5 years, 5-10 years, and over 10 years, during observation periods less than 10 years, 10-20 years, and over 20 years.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)"
02/15/2016 - "Increased Lung Cancer Mortality in Taconite Mining: The Potential for Disease from Elongate Mineral Particle Exposure."

01/01/2022 - "The goal of this study was to reconstruct the historical respirable silica (RS) and respirable dust (RD) exposures of workers in the Minnesota taconite industry from 1955 to 2010 as part of several epidemiological studies for assessing the association between exposure to components of taconite dusts and the development of respiratory diseases. "
12/01/2019 - "As part of ongoing epidemiological studies for assessing the association between exposure to dust from taconite operations and the development of respiratory diseases, the goal of this study was to reconstruct the exposures of workers to elongate mineral particle (EMP) in the Minnesota taconite mining industry from 1955-2010. "

02/15/2016 - "More recent studies have demonstrated increased mortality from respiratory cancers and heart disease among workers in the taconite industry. "
