Bronchial dysplasia induced by radiation in miners exposed to 222Rn progeny / M.A. Michaylov, D.S. Pressyanov, K.B. Kalinov

Sumario: Objectives: to investigate whether sputum cytology can be used to monitor epithelial cell changes in groups at high risk of lung cancer from exposure to radiation -- Methods: dysplasia of bronchial cells was investigated by means of sputum cytology in a group of 434 underground miners. 100 of them were not exposed, and 334 were exposed to 222Rn progeny at cumulative exposures < 450 working level months
