Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/7092107· OSTI ID:7092107
This bibliography is concerned with the possible carcinogenic risk to man from the presence of lead-210 and polonium-210 in tobacco smoke. It includes a data base on such topics as background levels of lead-210 and polonium-210 in tobacco and tobacco smoke, tobacco plant uptake of lead-210 and polonium-210 from soil, metabolic models, and dose estimates. This data base should be of interest to those concerned with assessing the health effects resulting from the emanation of radan-222 from natural and technologically enhanced sources.
