As a result of a lawsuit, IBM released a large data set of its former employees and the causes of their deaths. This, in turn, resulted in a study, Mortality among US employees of a large computer manufacturing company: 1969–2001.
Summing it up quickly, there is an increased amount of cancer among workers who had been employed at their factories. IBM, of course, denied the findings of the study, which was the largest (10,219 people after removing incomplete records) study of its kind for a computer hardware manufacturer. IBM was also not cooperative with helping flesh out the data, though that should be expected since it could lead to more liability on their part.
