Primary evidence comes from the reports which emphasize a low incidence of oral cancer among population groups who practise the habit of chewing betel quid without tobacco compared with those which practise the habit of chewing betel quid with tobacco. A more specific comparison is sought here through the quantitative estimation of the relative risks of the two types of betel habits. Out of three studies selected, two studies showed that the relative risk for the habit of betel quid without tobacco was not significant whereas the relative risk for the habit of betel quid with tobacco was highly significant. In the third study, although both relative risks were significant, the relative risk for the habit of betel quid with tobacco was significantly higher than the risk for the habit of betel quid without tobacco. The evidence from studies of oral pre-cancer was also in the same direction. It is suggested that in intervention and primary prevention programmes for oral cancer, the emphasis in the first instance might be upon the exclusion of tobacco from the betel quid rather than the complete discontinuation of the habit of chewing betel quid.","PeriodicalId":79218,"journal":{"name":"Ecology of disease","volume":"1 4","pages":"213-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1982-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"17818389","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Environmental and health effects of the nuclear industry and nuclear weapons: a current evaluation.","authors":"C J Johnson","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"The nuclear weapons industry in the U.S. comprises nine major plants, supported by a network of subcontractors and grantee institutions. Weapons development progresses at the Lawrence Livermore and Los Alamos Laboratories under the auspices of the University of California. Fissionable materials and tritium are produced at the Savannah River Plant (du Pont) or at Hanford. Reprocessing of plutonium and weapons grade uranium and manufacture of components are carried out at Rocky Flats (formerly Dow, now Rockwell Int.). Large amounts of radionuclides are generated or involved in operations at most of the nine plants. Internal reports of surveillance efforts by weapons plant personnel to monitor emissions of radioactive gases and particulates have now been released by several of the plants (in one case through litigation). Those reports document major releases of radioactive gases and particulates to the environment in the past, and continuing routine releases of some importance. Few investigations have been made of effects from these potent carcinogens in local populations. There have been several preliminary reports (Rocky Flats, Los Alamos and Savannah River) and one comprehensive report [Ambio 10: 176 (1981)]. Evidence of significantly increased rates of cancer of the more radiosensitive organs has been demonstrated. Adequate cancer registry and vital statistics data are essential for the comprehensive investigations of somatic and genetic effects which should be carried out around all nuclear installations near population centres.","PeriodicalId":79218,"journal":{"name":"Ecology of disease","volume":"1 2-3","pages":"135-52"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1982-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"17818385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
