Samsung has finally wrapped up that investigation into alleged cancer risks at its chip facilities, however it won’t share the small print with the remainder of the sector. Inside the study, which the corporate commissioned last year, researchers from US-based Environ International Corp. found that cancers affecting six semiconductor employees were unrelated to any chemicals they will were exposed to at the job. Of these six workers, four have already died and five of the families are currently pressing charges. Last month, a South Korea court determined that two of the cases might be associated with toxic chemical exposure — a ruling that Environ’s report clearly contradicts. Samsung, however, is reluctant to reveal the consequences in full, for fear that doing so may reveal some proprietary information. Environ’s Paul Harper declined to mention how much Samsung paid for the investigation, because of client confidentiality, while confirming that the research was achieved in consultation with a panel of independent experts. Semiconductor exec Kwon Oh-hyun, meanwhile, denied that the corporate commissioned the study for you to use it as evidence inside the ongoing court case, wherein Samsung isn’t even listed as a defendant.
