The results of the preliminary analysis of the risk of lung and larynx cancers among coal miners in Upper Silesia are presented. The risk increases substantially during the work under conditions of short-lived radon progeny hazard, especially when the concentration of alpha potential energy of short-lived radon progeny is higher than 2.5 (microJ m(-3)) that corresponds to the possibility of receiving the effective dose higher than 6 mSv y(-1). Significant differences of the risk are noticed between sub-populations of autochthon-miners and immigrant-miners: it was found that the relative risk for immigrant-miners was up to 2 times higher than for autochthon-miners.
本文展示了对上西里西亚煤矿工人肺癌和喉癌风险的初步分析结果。在短寿命氡子体危害条件下工作时，风险大幅增加，特别是当短寿命氡子体的α潜能能量浓度高于2.5（微焦耳·米⁻³）时，这对应着接受高于6毫希沃特·年⁻¹有效剂量的可能性。本地矿工和移民矿工亚群体之间的风险存在显著差异：发现移民矿工的相对风险比本地矿工高出两倍。
