Updated mortality analysis of the Mallinckrodt uranium processing workers, 1942-2012.

CONCLUSIONS: A positive radiation dose response was observed for malignant and non-malignant kidney disease, and a negative dose response for malignant and non-malignant lung disease. Cumulative measures of dust were significantly associated with malignant and non-malignant lung disease and suggested for malignant and non-malignant kidney disease. Small numbers preclude definitive interpretations which will await the combination with similar studies of early uranium processing workers. PMID: 30652958 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
