Description
Summary:The num-ber of lung cancer deaths which may be attributed to the indoor radon exposure, were determined by ..., where Nr,a is the number of deaths due to indoor radon exposure at age a, ERRr,a is the excess relative risk for age a and radon exposure r, Na is the total num-ber of lung cancer deaths at age a. In this study, the excess relative risk function uses of BEIR VI age concentration model (9) which at low dose rates the excess relative risk of attaining age a is ... where β is the exposure-response function ranging from 6.0 x 10-3 for ages less than or equal to 55y and 5.4 x 10-4 for ages greater than 75y.
