Irwin D.J. Bross  

Definición

  • Irwin D.J. Bross was an American public health advocate and biostatistician who devised methods for analyzing vehicle crash injury cause and effect, and conducted clinical studies of the relationship between low-level radiation exposure and cancer. In the late 1970s, Bross showed that people exposed to low-level radiation at work or as a result of frequent medical X-rays were 10 times more likely to develop leukemia than had been thought.
