Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the impact of high background radiation (HBR) on mortality among over 31,000 residents in Guangdong Province, China, from 1979 to 1998.
- Researchers tracked deaths and migration every few years, calculating individual radiation exposure based on local doses and demographic factors.
- Results indicated no significant relationship between cumulative radiation dose and mortality rates for leukemia, cancer (excluding leukemia), or non-cancer diseases, suggesting HBR may not pose a substantial health risk in this cohort.
