Estimate of risk from environmental exposure to radon-222 and its decay products.
Consideration of the epidemiological evidence on radiogenic lung cancer in uranium miners and of the incidence of the disease generally leads to an upper estimate for the lifetime risk of 10(-4) cases per working level month for members of the general population.
