Abstract
Correspondence 1.18 (90% CI, < 0-3.73), and the corresponding ratio for all malignant neoplasms excluding leukemia and lung cancer is 0.89 (90% CI, < 0-3.65).The ratio of lung cancer risk coefficients in the LSS and in groups of underground miners is close to the value suggested by the latest International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP 1994) model of lung dosimetry (Birchall and James 1994; Little 2002b).The general consistency of risks in the LSS and in medically and occupationally exposed groups implies that there are no serious biases in the LSS dosimetry.The author declares he has no conflict of interest.
