JAMA Open网络的一项新研究将居住在圣路易斯冷水溪附近、1940年代至1960年代被放射性原子弹废料污染的儿童的癌症风险较高联系起来。 A new study in JAMA Network Open links higher cancer risk to children who lived near Coldwater Creek in St. Louis, polluted with radioactive atomic bomb waste from the 1940s to the 1960s. 生活在小溪一公里以内的儿童中,有44%的人更有可能患上癌症,85%的人更有可能患上放射性敏感癌症,而生活在20公里以外的人则更有可能患上放射性敏感癌症。 Participants living within one kilometer of the creek as children were 44% more likely to develop cancer and 85% more likely to have radiosensitive cancers compared to those living more than 20 kilometers away. 这项研究利用4 209名牙齿捐赠者提供的数据,强调必须清理放射性废料场地。 The study, using data from 4,209 tooth donors, underscores the need to clean up radioactive waste sites.
