Can someone add a reference where all (or most) of these "confounders" have been put into perspective?

Best Regards, Rainer

Betreff: [ RadSafe ] Epidemiological data on Uranium miners

Who can add to a list of arguments (or provide references to the scientific literature) why radioepidemiological data on Uranium miners are poor representatives for 'normal' radiation workers:

Diesel fumes?
Dose Range?

Thank you in advance, Rainer
