EU records over 40,000 occupational cancer cases in a decade

New data from the EU's statistics office shows more than 40,500 officially recognized work-related cancer cases were reported across the bloc from 2013 to 2023. Lung cancer and mesothelioma, often linked to asbestos, accounted for over 80% of these occupational diseases, highlighting long-term workplace risks.

More than 40,500 cases of cancer officially linked to workplace hazards were recorded across the European Union over the past decade, according to new data from Eurostat. The EU statistics agency reported a total of 40,538 recognized occupational cancer cases between 2013 and 2023, with 3,500 cases acknowledged last year alone.

Prevalence of Lung Cancer and Mesothelioma

A breakdown of the figures reveals the specific dangers of certain exposures. Over 80% of all recognized occupational cancers in that ten-year period were lung cancer or mesothelioma. There were 16,499 cases of lung cancer and 16,469 cases of mesothelioma, a rare cancer strongly associated with asbestos exposure. Bladder cancer followed with 2,696 cases.

Delayed Onset and Pandemic-Era Fluctuations

Occupational cancers are caused by prolonged exposure to carcinogens at work, with symptoms often appearing decades later, sometimes after more than 40 years. The data showed annual case numbers for 2020, 2021, and 2022 were below the 2013-2019 average, a dip that may reflect disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic on both work environments and healthcare reporting systems.

Calls for Stricter Workplace Safety

The persistent high numbers, particularly for cancers linked to known hazards like asbestos, underscore the critical need for stringent and enforced occupational safety measures. Health experts warn the data represents a long-tail legacy of past exposures and a continuing call to protect current workers from preventable carcinogenic risks.
