Bestellnummer: 5746757467
- The main content of this book is concerned with an epidemiological study of lung cancer. There are many environmental factors, which could cause lung cancer, such as smoking, arsenic, asbestos, particle, chloromethyl ethers, radon progeny and other agents. Especially the radon and its progeny are omnipresent in dwellings, schools, working place and everywhere. Although the fact, that exposure of radon and its daughters is one of the causes of lung cancer, has been identified in mine environment, but little is known about effect of indoor radon level from epidemiological point of view. The Gansu lung cancer study fills in the gaps in area of effects of indoor radon exposure.
