TL;DR
Consideration of the epidemiological evidence on radiogenic lung cancer in uranium miners and of the incidence of the disease generally leads to an upper estimate for the lifetime risk of 10−4 cases per working level month for the general population.
Abstract
Consideration of the epidemiological evidence on radiogenic lung cancer in uranium miners and of the incidence of the disease generally leads to an upper estimate for the lifetime risk of 10(-4) cases per working level month for members of the general population.

The course of exposure-to-effect relationship was different in the age subgroups, but was not at variance with linearity in the total followed up population of miners.
