Abstract
during its sensitive period had been hit previously. Thus, from this exposure rate perspective, the risk per track-or per unit dose-will be maximal at low doses. The existence of an inverse dose-rate effect for high-LET radiation therefore provides no grounds for projecting lower lung cancer risks per unit exposure at environmental radon levels than at the higher radon levels in mines. Failure to adjust for any inverse dose-rate effect in the studies of miners can only lead to an underestimation of the environmental risk.
