Abstract A risk indicator that allows for the comparison of risks caused by different factors is highly useful enhancing public understanding. The International Commission on Radiological Protection developed concept “detriment” to quantify radiation-related health effects at low doses. However, detriment specific radiation field and cannot be simply compared with other risks. In this study, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), lifetime incidence risk, mortality due exposure were among 33...
Abstract The purpose of this study was to provide benchmark data for discussing the tolerability cancer risk associated with occupational radiation exposure. It focused on differences in mortality by occupation among Japan’s working population and examined baseline risks its variations from 1995 through 2020. Data were collected every five years national vital statistics sources. By focusing same types induced effects, cumulative calculated colorectal, lung, breast (females only) those aged...
Statistical benchmark data are necessary when considering the basis for radiation protection criteria based on calculated risks. We herein focused baseline mortality and incidence cancer rates as collected from 33 countries. Furthermore, we lifetime risks disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) all solid cancers, colon cancer, lung breast thyroid leukemia using compared them among The results showed that DALYs cancers differed countries by a factor of 2-4 males 2-3 females; these were low in...
Abstract The lifetime attributable risk (LAR) of cancer caused by radiation exposure is crucial when deciding on radiological protection measures or protective actions for nuclear emergency preparedness and response. Although a model estimating LAR among the Japanese population has been developed based epidemiological data from A-bomb survivors, flexible projection code implementing this must be developed. This study investigated existing codes to contribute development code. Based these...
