'No increased cancer risk at plant'

Aug 24 2010

Concerns that workers at a manufacturing plant are at increased risk of developing cancer are "unfounded", according to research.

An independent investigation ruled out earlier concerns about occupational cancers at the National Semiconductors UK factory in Greenock, Inverclyde.

A report in 2001 had found that, while the overall number of cancers in the workforce was not unusual, some could have been caused by work.
