摘要: Since the 1990's, several authors estimated that radon inhalation may deliver a small amount of irradiation to red bone marrow, and consequently increase risk leukemia in humans. The objective this review is conduct critical analysis epidemiologic results currently available concerning relationship between exposure leukemia. Nineteen ecological studies, six miner cohort eight case-control studies published 1987 2000 are included review. limitations associated with each these discussed. relatively concordant suggest an association concentrations at geographic level. But present important limitations, some only crude analyses. Moreover, based on individual data, do not show any significant risk. Our conclusion overall provide evidence for
