Health Effects of Exposure to Radon pdf
Description
Radon progeny - the decay products of radon gas - are a well-recognized cause of lung cancer in miners working underground. When radon was found to be a ubiquitous indoor air pollutant, however, it raised a more widespread alarm for public health. To develop appropriate public policy for indoor radon, decisionmakers need a characterization of the risk of radon exposure across the range of exposures people actually receive. In response, the BEIR VI committee has developed a mathematical model for the lung cancer risk associated with radon, incorporating the latest information from epidemiology and scientific studies. In this book the committee provides a fresh assessment of exposure-dose relationships. The volume discusses key issues - such as the weight of biological evidence and extrapolation from radon-exposed miners to the larger population - in estimating the risk posed by indoor radon. It also addresses such uncertainties as the combined effects of smoking and radon and the impact Download Health Effects of Exposure to Radon for free via rapidshare, mediafire, 4shared, dropBox, uploading, fileserve
