Beschreibung:
The linear no-threshold (LNT) dose-effect relationship has been consistently used by most radiation epidemiologists to estimate cancer mortality risk. The large scattering of data by International Agency for Research on Cancer, IARC ( Vrijheid et al. 2007 ; Therry-Chef et al. 2007 ; Cardis et al. 2007 ), interpreted in accordance with LNT, has been previously demonstrated ( Fornalski and Dobrzyński 2009 ). Using conventional and Bayesian methods the present paper demonstrates that the standard mortality ratios (SMRs), lower in the IARC cohort of exposed nuclear workers than in the non exposed group, should be considered as a hormetic effect, rather than a healthy worker effect (HWE) as claimed by the IARC group.
