The paper presents the method of risk assessment for the population of regions of the Russian Federation from exposure to radon based on data from radiation-hygienic passports of territories.Internal exposure to radon and progeny in dwellings and public buildings prevails in the dose from natural sources of radiation in Russia. The high variability of radon concentration in buildings in different regions of Russia makes it possible to conduct interregional comparisons of radon-induced lung cancer risk.The data from radiation-hygienic passports include only the effective dose from exposure to radon and progeny and thus reflects only the average radon concentration in a region. There is no description of critical groups of population or detailed characteristics of the exposure. For this reason it seems unpractical to apply risk assessment models with modifying factors that require the development of complex exposure scenarios. In this case it seems reasonable to apply one of the models based on the results of pooled analyses of data from residential case-control studies mentioned in the ICRP Publication 115. Such models take into account the combined effect of smoking and exposure to radon.The paper describes the procedure for calculating three risk estimates that could be used to characterize a given region or for interregional comparisons. Calculating some of risk estimates requires additional demographic and medical data, which can be obtained from different sources of official statistics. |
