Scope

Mortality due to indoor radon concentrations.

  • Spatial: Europe
  • Temporal: years 2010-2050

Definition

  • Lung cancer cases calculated from radon concentration using <math>cases = relative risk * background rate of cases * concentration * population</math>. RR taken from HEIMTSA and INTARESE (Darby 2004; Darby 2005).
    • Background rate of new lung cancers is assumed constant for the whole Europe: 58.2 cases per 100,000 population (Globocan 2008, crude rate).
    • Linear no threshold model assumed.
