When the EPA or the air pollution epidemiologists conclude the there is a
2% increase in mortality per 50 micrograms per cubic meter increase in
airborne fine particles, that is an LNT model.

The EPA reference is AIR QUALITY CRITERIA FOR PARTICULATE MATTER,
EPA/600/P-95/001aF-cF (3 volumes), EPA, Research Triangle Park, NC, 1996.
