RE: Solid-Tumor Mortality in the Vicinity of Uranium Cycle Facilities

["Jim Otton" <jkotton@usgs.gov>]

Regarding references that link uranium exposure to kidney cancer, primarily

for workers in uranium processing plants, please see the following online

links:

There are other opinions (no observed effect) as at:

As of June 1999, CDC/NCEH were evaluating effects of exposure of uranium at

Fernald, including kidney cancer, see:

I haven't seen any followup yet on the Fernald study.
