摘要：
In two rural provinces of China residents are exposed to significantly elevated levels of natural radiation: in Gansu Province millions of people have been living in earth-dug cave dwellings for several generations; in Jiangxi Province several hundred thousand inhabitants reside in carbon-brick dwellings, containing elevated levels of U-238 and Ra-226. In a pilot study regional lung cancer mortality rates were investigated in the affected areas and were found to be higher than for central groups in normal dwellings in the same area.
