Lung cancer mortality among Czech uranium miners - 60 years since exposure
Original language description
The study is based on 9978 Czech uranium miners with 1141 lung cancers observed in updated follow-up 1952-2010. Lung cancer risk in relation to cumulated exposure to radon decay products is linear with substantial modifications by time since exposure, age at exposure, and exposure rate. The crude excess relative risk (ERR) per unit exposure in working level months (WLM) in the cohort is 0.0097 (90%CI: 0.0074-0.0127). The ERR/WLM corresponding to exposure rates below 7 working levels (WL) is substantially higher - 0.0145 (90%CI: 0.0109?0.0193). In the final model, the inverse effect of exposure rate is observed for high exposure rates > 7WL with the ERR/WLM reduced to 31% . The ERR/WLM decreases to 32% and 9% in periods 20-29 and 30+ years since exposure in comparison to period 5-19 years since exposure. Simultaneously, the ERR/WLM decreases with age at exposure ? 63% and 49% at ages 30-39 and 40+ years in comparison to age at exposure <30 years.
