[Comparative evaluation of cancerogenic risk of radiation and air pollution by coal ashes and benzo(a)pyrene].
Experiments were made with 800 white outbred mice inhaling benzo [a] pyrene (BP) and volatile coal ash for a long time. Experiments showed that BP is 10-1000-fold more carcinogenic than volatile coal ash. BP inhalation at a sanitary standard level (0.1 microgram/100 m3 of air) corresponds to equivalent risk of total gamma-emission about 2 Sv. Coal ash inhalation in concentration 0.05 mg/m3 corresponds to the same equivalent risk as for the dose 0.05 Sv.
