Correlation between natural radiation exposure and cancer mortality (5).
In the previous study, a statistically significant positive correlation between natural background radiation exposure rates and crude (non-age-adjusted) cancer mortality rates was observed in 46 Japanese prefectures over the period from 1968 until 1978. However, the significance of this correlation mostly disappeared through age adjustment. It was suggested that natural radiation levels are pos...

متن کاملNatural environmental gamma radiation exposure and prevalence of breast cancer in Poços de Caldas, MG, Brazil
Background: Environmental ionizing radiation has been associated with increased cancer risk by several studies. The Brazilian city of Poços de Caldas, MG, seats on a huge deposit of uranium, which was until recently mined. We performed a retrospective analysis of 310 cases of patients with breast cancer, who were exposed for at least ten years to different levels of ion...
متن کاملThe cancer mortality in high natural radiation areas in poland.
The cancer mortality ratios (CMRs) in Poland in high and low level radiation areas were analyzed based on information from national cancer registry. Presented ecological study concerned six regions, extending from the largest administration areas (a group of voivodeships), to the smallest regions (single counties). The data show that the relative risk of cancer deaths is lower in the higher rad...
متن کاملPublic exposure to natural radiation sources (Ramsar Case Study)
Introduction: Human beings are naturally exposed to ionizing radiation in any environment. There are two main contributors to radiation exposures from natural sources: cosmic rays, Cosmo genic radionuclides, and radioactive nuclides that originated in the earth's crust. According to the latest data provided by the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Rad...
