Description

Objective: To study the new excess relative risk model of radon-related lung cancer. Methods: ERRlwlm value was calculated with the methods of cubic spline interpolation and logarithmic linear interpolation on the theoretical background. Results: The detailed process of the calculation for the probability of causation of radon-related lung cancer was listed out based on the NIH 03-5387 model. Conclusion: It was demonstrated that the calculation for the probability of causation used in this paper was reliable and applicable. (authors)
