Description
The threshold energy model was used to examine the synergic effect of radon and smoking and to compare their influence on the lung cancer risk. The calculated values can be crudely compared with the epidemiological geometric mixture models devised by Tomášek, who statistically evaluated epidemiological lung cancer data for miners working in Jáchymov and Příbram mines.
