The world population has been exposed to low levels of fission products from nuclear testing. Has this had any health effects? Six different epidemiological associations are demonstrated between leukemia and nuclear fallout in the general population. The strongest association is with acute and myeloid types of leukemia among children. They peaked at approximately 5.5 yr (among 5-9 yr olds) after the peaks in fallout. The entire United States population exhibited an increasing leukemia rate during and for several years after the open air nuclear testing and fell sharply thereafter. Regional differences in leukemia rates correspond to a composite exposure index that used 90Sr concentrations in food, cow's milk, and human bone. The calculated leukemia risk per rad for children was similar to that calculated for Japanese A-bomb children survivors.
全球人口一直暴露于核试验产生的低水平裂变产物中。这对健康有什么影响吗？在普通人群中，白血病与核沉降物之间存在六种不同的流行病学关联。最强的关联是儿童急性髓系白血病。在沉降物峰值出现后约5.5年（5至9岁儿童中）达到峰值。在露天核试验期间及之后的几年里，美国全体人口的白血病发病率呈上升趋势，此后急剧下降。白血病发病率的地区差异与一个综合暴露指数相对应，该指数使用了食物、牛奶和人体骨骼中的锶-90浓度。计算得出的儿童每拉德白血病风险与日本原子弹儿童幸存者的计算结果相似。
