Breast Cancer is the most common
incident cancer among U.S. women and the second leading cause of
cancer morality in U.S. women. Increasing numbers of women are
employed outside the home, yet few studies of breast cancer
etiology have addressed occupational and environmental chemical
exposures, and many cancer studies of industrial cohorts have
excluded women. This study will provide information concerning 1)
the incidence of breast cancer in a cohort of women exposed to
ethylene oxide (ETO) and 2) the incidence of breast cancer in a
cohort of women exposed to polychlorinated biphenyls
(PCBs).
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that

the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
