不列颠核燃料公司Sellafield核废料处理工厂附近的Seascale村,儿童白血病的过多是与工厂工人怀孕以前接受大剂量放射性有关。虽然过去曾有实验动物在交配前给以放射性照射,其子代产生损害的报导,但这种相似的关联,在人类还是第一次见到。 Southampton大学Gardner教授领导的研究小组,查阅了该地区1950~1985年诊断的52例白血病和22例非何杰金氏淋巴瘤,统计了易患白血病的各种有关危险因素。通过对74例病人与来自同一出生地1001例健康人的比较,排除了环境放射性的作用。虽然儿童白血病与
Excessive childhood leukemia in Seascale, near the British nuclear fuel company Sellafield Nuclear Waste Disposal Factory, is associated with the high doses of radioactivity that factory workers had previously been pregnant with. Although in the past experimental animals have been radioactively irradiated before mating, their offspring have been reported to have been impaired, but such a similar association was seen for the first time in humans. A team led by Professor Gardner of Southampton University reviewed 52 leukemias and 22 non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas diagnosed between 1950 and 1985 in the area and calculated the various risk factors for leukemia. The effect of environmental radioactivity was ruled out by a comparison of 74 patients with 1001 healthy individuals from the same place of birth. Although children with leukemia and
