Lymphohematopoietic Malignancies in Uranium Miners: Kulich et al. Respond

Risk of Lymphohematopoietic Malignancies in Uranium Miners

Řeřicha et al. (2006) analyzed data from Czech uranium miners with respect to incidence of malignancies of the lymphohematopoietic system. Their results, however, do not correspond with those of two recent studies on German uranium miners (Kreuzer et al. 2004; Möhner et al. 2006). Řeřicha et al. (2006) used a case– cohort design, in which the subcohort was stratified by attained age and duratio...

AASHTO discourages bicycle-only cycle tracks because, as noted by Schimek, AASHTO discou...

Nanotoxicology: Gangwal et al. Respond

Gangwal et al. (2011) addressed an important topic for nanotoxicology about assessing the toxicity of inhaled nano materials by recom mending relevant concentrations for in vitro toxicity testing. Their efforts to select in vitro concentrations based on reported occupational exposure levels of inhaled nano materials are, indeed, laudable. Their under lying conceptual approach is logical, involv...
