I have a client with an appeal against refusal of IIB based on prescribed disease C23 -- cancer of epitheliean lining of the urinary tract from exposure to orthotoluidine, 4-chloro-2-methylaniline or or salts of those compounds. Client worked in the print industry for six years between 1952 and 1964 and was regularly explosed to ink and solvents includinding cleaining under machines etc. but has no knowledge of names of products.
DM accepted on balance of probability that she had been exposed to these chemicals, but this has been overturned on Medical Service advice. I can try various means of investigation, but don't want to re-invent the wheel, does anyone have: Knowledge of a 'lookalike' Commissioners decision or good sources of information on the chemicals likely to have been encountered in print works (since closed) 50 years ago?
