9               Factors that must exist
At least one of the following factors must exist before it can be said that, on the balance of probabilities, malignant neoplasm of the renal pelvis and ureter or death from malignant neoplasm of the renal pelvis and ureter is connected with the circumstances of a person's relevant service:
(1)          smoking at least five pack-years of cigarettes, or the equivalent thereof in other tobacco products, before the clinical onset of malignant neoplasm of the renal pelvis or ureter, where smoking commenced at least ten years before the clinical onset of malignant neoplasm of the renal pelvis or ureter;
            Note: pack-years of cigarettes, or the equivalent thereof in other tobacco products is defined in the Schedule 1 - Dictionary.
(2)          having received a cumulative equivalent dose of at least 0.5 sievert of ionising radiation to the affected site at least ten years before the clinical onset of malignant neoplasm of the renal pelvis or ureter;
Note: cumulative equivalent dose is defined in the Schedule 1 - Dictionary.
(3)          inhaling, ingesting or having cutaneous contact with high concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, through work involving a specified industrial or manufacturing process 1:
(a)          for a cumulative period of at least 3 500 hours, before the clinical onset of malignant neoplasm of the renal pelvis or ureter; and
(b)          where the first exposure occurred at least ten years before the clinical onset of malignant neoplasm of renal pelvis or ureter;
Note: polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and specified industrial or manufacturing process 1 are defined in the Schedule 1 – Dictionary.
(4)          inhaling, ingesting or having cutaneous contact with an agent from the specified list of agents containing high concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons:
(a)          for a cumulative period of at least 3 500 hours, before the clinical onset of malignant neoplasm of the renal pelvis or ureter; and
(b)          where the first exposure occurred at least ten years before the clinical onset of malignant neoplasm of the renal pelvis or ureter;
            Note: specified list of agents containing high concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons is defined in the Schedule 1 – Dictionary.
(5)          inhaling, ingesting or having cutaneous contact with an aromatic amine from the specified list of aromatic amines:
(a)          for a cumulative period of at least 2 000 hours, before the clinical onset of malignant neoplasm of the renal pelvis or ureter; and
(b)          where the first exposure occurred at least ten years before the clinical onset of malignant neoplasm of the renal pelvis or ureter;
            Note 1: Inhaling, ingesting or having cutaneous contact with an aromatic amine does not include exposure due to cigarette smoke or hair dyes.
            Note 2: specified list of aromatic amines is defined
