Features: This book mainly includes the establishment and application of a thoron exhalation activity measurement system, the dose-response relationship between thorium deposition in the lungs of dust-exposed miners from Bayan Obo rare earth iron mine and peripheral blood indices, the dose-response relationship between thorium deposition in the lungs and liver function of dust-exposed miners from Bayan Obo rare earth iron mine, the dose-response relationship of non-random effects such as pneumoconiosis in dust-exposed miners from Bayan Obo rare earth iron mine, an epidemiological investigation of lung cancer mortality among miners from Bayan Obo rare earth iron mine, the combined effect of respiratory inhalation of thorium dioxide and rare earth mine dust, a 7-year continuous observation and analysis of the clearance of thorium dioxide from the lungs of one miner, as well as comprehensive health protection measures and their effectiveness.
