Incidence trend for colorectal cancer in the cohort of workers exposed to ionizing radiation
Colorectal cancer is one of the most common malignant neoplasms. Main causes inducing this type of cancer are factors related to the life style and occupational exposures to chemical agents.

Abstract Low‐temperature thermochronology records rock cooling, which results from (generally erosion‐driven) exhumation and/or other processes that alter the geotherm. Apatite (U‐Th)/He (AHe) thermochronology can record landscape changes associated with km‐scale erosion and has previously been used to assess Quaternary glacial incision in large ...

Evidence of a Dose Threshold for Radiation-Induced Leukemia
In 1958, Neil Wald presented data on the incidence of leukemia among the Hiroshima atomic bomb survivors. These data, which suggested a dose–response threshold for radiation-induced leukemia, were included in the first UNSCEAR report (1958).

Abstract Carbonaceous aerosols (CA) on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) accelerate glacial melt, yet decoupling local emissions from transboundary transport remains challenging. We conducted a year‐long radiocarbon (14C) study in Lhasa, identifying it as a CA hotspot. Fossil fuels dominated EC (69%), while non‐fossil sources contributed 54% to OC.

Key Points We recommend using the notation δ122/118SnNIST SRM 3161a for mass‐dependent Sn isotope data. We derived conversion factors relative to NIST SRM 3161a for Puri Sn CEZA (0.132 ± 0.011‰), Sn Lyon (0.229 ± 0.016‰), Sn IPGP (0.162 ± 0.018‰). Tin isotope compositions are presented for SPEX CertiPrep Sn and nine USGS reference materials.

Risk and risk perception: the metropolitan imaginary of catastrophe at the time of the Covid-19
The Covid-19 health emergency takes place in the list of “new risks” that punctuate the scene of the “world risk society” (Beck, 2011). This state of affairs, characterized by the worsening of the feeling of uncertainty and anguish, finds its raison d ...

DUAL THEORY OF ACTION IONIZING RADIATION AND SPONTANEOUS CANCER
A mathematical model for radiogenic increasing of mortality was proposed, taking into account spontaneous background damages of the genetic material, that always occur in cells due to the influence of non-radiation internal and environmental factors. The
