BACKGROUND: Carcinogenic risks of internal exposures to alpha-emitters (except
radon) are poorly understood. Since exposure to alpha particles-particularly
through inhalation-occurs in a range of settings, understanding consequent risks
is a public health priority. We aimed to quantify dose-response relationships
between lung dose from alpha-emitters and lung cancer in nuclear workers.
METHODS: We conducted a case-control study, nested within Belgian, French, and UK
cohorts of uranium and plutonium workers. Cases were workers who died from lung
cancer; one to three controls were matched to each. Lung doses from
alpha-emitters were assessed using bioassay data. We estimated excess odds ratio
(OR) of lung cancer per gray (Gy) of lung dose. RESULTS: The study comprised 553
cases and 1,333 controls. Median positive total alpha lung dose was 2.42 mGy
(mean: 8.13 mGy; maximum: 316 mGy); for plutonium the median was 1.27 mGy and for
uranium 2.17 mGy. Excess OR/Gy (90% confidence interval)-adjusted for external
radiation, socioeconomic status, and smoking-was 11 (2.6, 24) for total alpha
dose, 50 (17, 106) for plutonium, and 5.3 (-1.9, 18) for uranium. CONCLUSIONS: We
found strong evidence for associations between low doses from alpha-emitters and
lung cancer risk. The excess OR/Gy was greater for plutonium than uranium, though
confidence intervals overlap. Risk estimates were similar to those estimated
previously in plutonium workers, and in uranium miners exposed to radon and its
progeny. Expressed as risk/equivalent dose in sieverts (Sv), our estimates are
somewhat larger than but consistent with those for atomic bomb survivors.See
