According to the World Cancer Research Fund, people who work with metalworking fluids have a significantly higher risk for bladder cancer than those who do not confront such exposure. Metalworkers and machine operators are most likely to use metalworking fluids during a workday. The longer people who use such fluids are exposed to them, the greater their risk for bladder cancer becomes. But bladder cancer also poses a threat for those who do not work with metalworking fluids. For example, the WCRF notes the risk of bladder cancer is as much as six times higher among smokers compared to non-smokers.
