| Resumen |
MD thesis. 2 case studies of lung cancer in uranium miners, due to inhalation of radon daughters, followed by a review of the state of the art, considering the epidemiological, experimental, histological and toxicological aspects of the question (determination of a maximum permissible concentration) and problems of radiation protection and statutory compensation. In spite of the relative inadequacy of the sampling, epidemiological surveys have shown a significant relation between lung cancer and exposure to radon daughters in excess of 120WLM (working level months). Biological research has thrown up incriminating evidence regarding the role of X-rays emitted by active radon deposits in the causation of lung cancer in uranium miners, possibly potentiated by other factors (smoking habits, exhaust gases, etc.). |
