摘要: OBJECTIVES: This study investigated residential radon exposure and lung cancer risk, using both standard dosimetry a new monitoring technology that, evidence suggests, is better measure of cumulative exposure. METHODS: Missouri women (aged 30 to 84 years) newly diagnosed with primary during the period January 1, 1993, 31, 1994, were invited participate in this population-based case-control study. Both indoor air detectors CR-39 alpha-particle (surface monitors) used. RESULTS: When surface monitors used, significant trend odds ratios was observed for 20-year time-weighted-average concentrations. CONCLUSIONS: but not when risk found concentrations at above action level mitigation houses currently used United States (148 Bqm-3). The below Canada ...
