The Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology Branch (OEEB) within the National Cancer Institute (NCI) carries out studies of occupation and environment-related risk. These studies include retrospective assessment of historical exposures through industry and questionnaire-based evaluations; on-site evaluation of exposures through air, dermal and biological monitoring; and evaluation of early biologic effects and genetic susceptibility. The NCI has a need for specific expertise in epidemiologic applications of industrial hygiene to meet critical needs on five major research areas: 1) Study of miners exposed to diesel exhaust (Diesel Study), 2) Studies of benzene exposed workers in China (Chinese Benzene), 3) Study on occupational solvent exposures and biomarker effects (Solvent Biomarker Study), 4) Study on indoor air pollution and lung cancer (Qujing Lung Cancer Study), and 5) Study of corn farmers in the Agricultural Health Study (Corn Farming).
