Small area estimation of incidence of cancer around a known source of exposure with fine resolution data.

abstract：OBJECTIVES:Molecular epidemiological techniques, capable of detecting damage to DNA, were used to see if such damage occurred in the lymphocytes of a group of workers exposed to chromium. The two aims of this pilot study were to see if these new techniques might make useful biological monitoring tools for workers expos...
