Factors associated with conjunctival intraepithelial neoplasia: a case control study.
Familial and environmental factors may play a role in the development of conjunctival intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). Nineteen patients with biopsy-proven CIN completed a questionnaire to evaluate possible predisposing factors. Nineteen age-matched and sex-matched controls completed questionnaires and received slit-lamp examinations. Factors associated with a relatively increased risk of developing CIN included exposure to petroleum products, heavy cigarette smoking, light hair and ocular pigmentation, and family origin in the British Isles, Austria or Switzerland. Non-office and nonprofessional workers were more likely to develop conjunctival intraepithelial neoplasia (p = .05), as were those who were not college graduates (p = .07).

Hazardous drugs.
Engineering controls and personal protective equipment are crucial for health care professionals working in situations where cytotoxic agents, pharmaceuticals such as ribavirin and pentamidine, and other potentially hazardous drugs are present. Plans for exposure control, spill clean-up, and medical surveillance must be instituted to protect the employee.
