TL;DR: The overall ABLES data indicate a declining trend in elevated BLLs among employed adults, and improvements will enable the ABLes program to work more effectively toward its 2010 target of eliminating all cases of B LLs > or = 25 microg/dL in adults caused by workplace exposures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mortality among Navajo uranium miners.
TL;DR: Twenty-three years after their last exposure to radon progeny, these light-smoking Navajo miners continue to face excess mortality risks from lung cancer and pneumoconioses and other respiratory diseases.
