Calculation of dose conversion factors based on the results of geometric mixture models for risk assessment of radon exposure

The results of the geometric mixture model by Tomasek (2011, 2013) were applied for the calculation of radiation risk at radon exposure at the assessment of dose conversion factors (DCF; mSv/WLM) from radon exposure to the effective dose-by-dose conversion convention approach for cohorts with different smoking status. It is shown that the use of a geometric mixture model results in a better agreement between DCF values for men and women. (authors)
