PB90130998

Publication Date	1978
Page Count	14
Abstract	The statement concerned the efforts of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) to protect workers against the hazardous effects of radiation exposure, particularly radiation induced carcinogenesis. Data were gathered concerning hazards from radon daughter products among uranium mining and milling operations including the increased incidence of lung cancer. Technical assistance has been provided by NIOSH in addressing problems from radiation generating equipment. In the area of nonionizing radiation NIOSH has undertaken efforts to study radiofrequency and microwave, ultraviolet, infrared, laser, optical, noise and ultrasonic radiation. Short term training sessions were offered by NIOSH to assist workers in understanding the hazards associated with various types of radiation to which they may be exposed at the work place.
