| Abstract |
An epidemiological study in several thousand uranium miners in Czechoslovakia, divided into 3 age groups, showed an increasing ratio of observed to expected lung cancer incidence above 100 working level months (WLM) in the group as a whole and above 150WLM in the younger groups. The results are compared with those of U.S. studies up to 1973. |
