In Comparative Dosimetry of Radon in Mines and Homes , an expert committee uses a new dosimetric model to extrapolate to the home environment the risk relationships found in the miner studies. Important new scaling factors are developed for applying risk estimates based on miner data to men, women, and children in domestic environments. The book includes discussions of radon dosimetry and the uncertainties concerning other risk factors such as age and smoking habits. The book also contains a thorough technical discussion of the characteristics of radioactive aerosols in domestic environments, the dose of inhaled radon progeny to different age groups, identification of respiratory tract cells at the greatest risk of carcinogenesis, and a complete description of the new lung dose model being developed by the International Commission on Radiological Protection as modified by this committee. 606 $aRadon$xMeasurement 606 $aRadiation dosimetry 606 $aIndoor air pollution 606 $aMine safety 606 $aMineral industries 606 $aAir Pollution, Indoor 606 $aMining 606 $aRadiometry$xmethods 606 $aRadon$xanalysis 606 $aSafety 606 $aRadiometry 615 0$aRadon$xMeasurement. 615 0$aRadiation dosimetry. 615 0$aIndoor air pollution. 615 0$aMine safety. 615 0$aMineral industries. 615 2$aAir Pollution, Indoor. 615 2$aMining. 615 2$aRadiometry$xmethods. 615 2$aRadon$xanalysis. 615 2$aSafety. 615 2$aRadiometry. 676 $a628.5/35 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bPanel on Dosimetric Assumptions Affecting the Application of Radon Risk Estimates. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910972026803321 996 $aComparative dosimetry of radon in mines and homes$94344306 997 $aUNINA
