Radiation risk estimation models

D G Hoel. Environ Health Perspect. 1987 Nov.

Abstract

Cancer risk models and their relationship to ionizing radiation are discussed. There are many model assumptions and risk factors that have a large quantitative impact on the cancer risk estimates. Other health end points such as mental retardation may be an even more serious risk than cancer for those with in utero exposures.
