RELATIVE BIOLOGICAL EFFECTIVENESS FOR THE INDUCTION OF MALIGNANT CHARACTERISTICS IN CELLS BY FAST NEUTRONS AND OF LUNG CANCER BY RADON

Obiettivo

RELATIVE BIOLOGICAL EFFECTIVENESS FOR THE INDUCTION OF MALIGNANT CHARACTERISTICS IN CELLS BY FAST NEUTRONS AND OF LUNG CANCER BY RADON.
Studies carried out are as follows:
measurements of the biological effectiveness of different types of radiation for induction of chromosome damage and cell reproductive death;
transformation of cells in culture by ionising radiations of different linear energy transfer;
experimental studies on lung tumour induction by inhalation of radon in combination with some promoting agents present in cigarette smoke.
