An epidemiological study has been carried out among 1,479 male workers who started working at the "Mayak" Production Association in 1948-1958 and were exposed to external gamma radiation and plutonium aerosols. Lung cancer mortality for the follow-up period 1948-1993 has been analyzed. No statistically significant association of lung cancer mortality and external gamma-ray dose has been revealed in the range of accumulated doses of 0.2-5.5 Gy. Association of lung cancer mortality and the dose of alpha-particle radiation to the lung is statistically significant. In the dose range below 30 Sv, this association can be described in terms of a linear nonthreshold function. Lifetime lung cancer risk in the dose range below 30 Sv is 1.21 x 10(-2)Sv(-1).

D011005 Plutonium A naturally radioactive element of the actinide metals series. It has the atomic symbol Pu, and atomic number 94. Plutonium is used as a nuclear fuel, to produce radioisotopes for research, in radionuclide batteries for pacemakers, and as the agent of fission in nuclear weapons.

D005720 Gamma Rays Penetrating, high-energy electromagnetic radiation emitted from atomic nuclei during NUCLEAR DECAY. The range of wavelengths of emitted radiation is between 0.1 - 100 pm which overlaps the shorter, more energetic hard X-RAYS wavelengths. The distinction between gamma rays and X-rays is based on their radiation source.
