Radium in drinking water and risk of bone cancer in Ontario youths : a second study and combined analysis / Murray M. Finkelstein, Nancy Kreiger

Sumario: Radium induces bone sarcomas at high doses, but there is controversy about risk at low doses. A previous study in Ontario found an association between the presence of radium in birthplace water supplies and an increased risk of death from bone cancer in young people. An investigation was performed to test the findings of the previous study with an independent group of subjects for whom complete information on radium exposure would be obtained
