Health effects of exposure to radon /

To develop appropriate public policy for indoor radon, decisionmakers need an accurate characterization of the risk of radon exposure and the ranges of exposures people actually receive. In response, the BEIR VI committee developed a mathematical model of lung cancer risk associated with radon, inco...
