Quantitative relationship between silica exposure and lung cancer mortality in German uranium miners, 1946|[ndash]|2003

摘要

Background:In 1996 and 2009, the International Agency for Research on Cancer classified silica as carcinogenic to humans. The exposure–response relationship between silica and lung cancer risk, however, is still debated. Data from the German uranium miner cohort study were used to further investigate this relationship.
