Lymphoma, multiple myeloma and leukaemia incidence in regions of Belarus most heavily contaminated by the Chernobyl accident. [PDF]

Int J Cancer
What's new? The 1986 Chernobyl accident led to widespread radioactive contamination across parts of Europe, with elevated childhood leukaemia rates observed in heavily affected areas of Ukraine. Data on long‐term haematological and other non‐thyroid cancer risk in the general population in heavily contaminated regions, however, remain limited.

Occupational exposure to metal welding and cataract: A systematic review and meta-analysis. [PDF]

Acta Ophthalmol
Abstract Background Metal welding generates ultraviolet radiation (UVR) of cataractogenic wavelengths, and UVR emitted during welding has been associated with cataract formation, but results from prior studies are conflicting. Methods We conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis of epidemiological studies addressing associations between ...

The Reverse Risk Register Approach to Understanding Systemic Factors in Risk Analysis and Management Case Studies. [PDF]

Risk Anal
ABSTRACT Although recent developments have improved clarity on the characteristics of high‐quality risk science, there is recognition that many of those characteristics relate to specific tasks taken by the risk analyst. However, the effectiveness of risk analysis and management often relies on both internal risk team activities and other external ...

Modeling and interpreting element ratios in water and sediments: A sensitivity analysis of post-Chernobyl Ru : Cs ratios. [PDF]

, 1995
When elements are simultaneously added to lakes, experimentally or by accident, their ratios in the water phase and in bottom sediments can change with time due to differential partitioning between solution and suspended particles or sediments.
