Re: Radon and Smoking (individual vs aggregate)



Bill,
    If lung cancer and radon exposure are not linearly related, on what basis did EPA calculate umpteen thousand deaths per year from radon exposure?
No, radon exposure and lung cancer are NOT linearly related.  So, why would average exposure equal average risk for lung cancer (using collective dose and LNT) in an ecologic analysis?
