Cancer Mortality near Hanford Reactor(汉福德反应 堆周围的癌症死亡率) 数据摘要： The data give the index of exposure and the cancer mortality rate during 1959-1964 for the nine Oregon counties affected. Higher index values represent higher levels of contamination. 中文关键词： 回归,癌症死亡率,汉福德反应堆,暴露指数,郡县, 英文关键词： regression,cancer mortality,Hanford ractor,index of exposure,county, 数据格式： TEXT 数据用途： It can be used for predicting the mortality near reactor 数据详细介绍： Cancer Mortality near Hanford Reactor Keywords: regression Description Larsen and Marx (1986) write Since Word War II, plutonium for use in atomic weapons has been produced at an Atomic Energy Commission facility in Hanford, Washington. One of the major safety problems encountered there has been the storage of radioactive wastes. Over the years, significant quantities of these substances - including strontium 90 and cesium 137 - have leaked from their open-pit storage areas into the nearby Columbia River, which flows along the Washington-Oregon border, and eventually empties into the Pacific Ocean. To measure the health consequences of this contamination, an index of exposure was calculated for each of the nine Oregon counties having frontage on either the Columbia River or the Pacific Ocean. This particular index was based on several factors, including the countys stream distance from Hanford and the average distance of its population from any water frontage. As a covariate, the cancer mortality rate was determined for each of these same counties. The data give the index of exposure and the cancer mortality rate during 1959-1964 for the nine Oregon counties affected. Higher index values represent higher levels of contamination.
