Abstract

A mortality study of French Polynesia in the period 1984-92, although limited by the small population living close to the test sites and the high proportion of deaths attributed to ill-defined causes, found no excess of cancer that could confidently be attributed to the 41 atmospheric test explosions in 1966-74. A study of cancer incidence is planned.
