Abstract

Fundamental estimates of radon-associated health risk have been provided by epidemiological studies of miners. In total, approximately 15 studies have been conducted worldwide since the 1960s. These results have contributed directly to radiological protection against radon. The present article summarises the main results, with a focus on analyses of miners exposed more recently, estimates of radon lifetime attributable risk, and interaction between radon and smoking. The potential for the upcoming Pooled Uranium Miner Analysis project to further improve our knowledge is discussed.

矿工研究和氡辐射防护。

对矿工进行的流行病学研究提供了与氡有关的健康风险的基本估计。自1960年代以来，全世界总共进行了大约15项研究。这些结果直接有助于氡的放射防护。本文总结了主要结果，重点分析了最近暴露的矿工，氡终生归因风险的估计，以及氡与吸烟之间的相互作用。讨论了即将到来的汇集铀矿分析项目进一步提高我们知识的潜力。

期刊介绍： The International Commission on Radiological Protection was founded in 1928 to advance for the public benefit the science of radiological protection. The ICRP provides recommendations and guidance on protection against the risks associated with ionising radiation, from artificial sources as widely used in medicine, general industry and nuclear enterprises, and from naturally occurring sources. These reports and recommendations are published six times each year on behalf of the ICRP as the journal Annals of the ICRP. Each issue provides in-depth coverage of a specific subject area.
