[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS oIFnR0xo. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. A population-based case-control study involving 601 incident cases of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and 717 controls was conducted in 1996-2000 among Connecticut women to examine associations with exposure to organic solvents. A job-exposure matrix was used to assess occupational exposures. Increased risk of NHL was associated with occupational exposure to chlorinated solvents (odds ratio (OR)=1.4,95% confidence interval (Cl) : 1.1,1.8) and carbon tetrachloride (OR=2.3,95% Cl : 1.3,4.0). Those ever exposed to any organic solvent in work settings had a borderline increased risk of NHL (OR=1.3,95% Cl : 1.0,1.6) ; moreover, a significantly increased risk was observed for those with average probability of exposure to any organic solvent at medium-high level (OR=1.5,95% Cl : 1.1,1.9). A borderline increased risk was also found for ever exposure to formaldehyde (OR=1.3,95% Cl : 1.0,1.7) in work settings. Risk of NHL increased with increasing average intensity (P=0.01), average probability (P
