Does or Does Not Exist

• Exposure to uranium and lung cancer at higher levels of cumulative exposure (>200 mSv or 25 cGy).
• Exposure to uranium and lymphatic cancer; bone cancer; nervous system disease; nonmalignant respiratory disease; or other health outcomes (gastrointestinal disease, immune-mediated disease, effects on hematological parameters, reproductive or developmental dysfunction, genotoxic effects, cardiovascular effects, hepatic disease, dermal effects, ocular effects, or musculoskeletal effects).

Limited/Suggestive Evidence of No Association

• Exposure to uranium and lung cancer at cumulative internal dose levels lower than 200 mSv or 25 cGy.
• Exposure to uranium and clinically significant renal dysfunction.
