在所有住宅氡流行病学肺癌研究中,氡浓度本身可能不足以作为衡量肺癌风险的替代指标。单位氡暴露给肺部的剂量可因暴露条件而显著不同。在许多情况下,这些剂量有效性变化可与空间和时间因素变化相媲美。利用表面沉积和植入的氡子代活性的新技术为今后的流行病学研究提供了更准确的剂量估计。
Radon concentration alone may not be an adequate surrogate to measure for lung cancer risk in all residential radon epidemiologic lung cancer studies. The dose delivered to the lungs per unit radon exposure can vary significantly with exposure conditions. These dose-effectiveness variations can be comparable to spatial and temporal factor variations in many situations. New technologies that use surface-deposited and implanted radon progeny activities make more accurate dose estimates available for future epidemiologic studies.
