Abstract |
A series of recent papers describes the final results obtained from studies of the effects of inhaled plutonium dioxide on beagle dogs. This note considers the value of a microdosimetric assessment of these data. In particular, it offers support for the existence of a threshold for the induction of lung tumors.
