Table 3. Adjusteda incidence rate ratios for primary brain tumour in association with a 100 Bq/m3 increase in domestic radonb within strata of NOx at the residential address.

Potential effect modifier Cases, n IRR (95% CI) Pc
NOx at front door (µg/m3)d
<21.6 58 2.53 (1.06–6.04) 0.15
≥21.6 63 0.98 (0.39–2.50)
a

We adjusted the analyses for age (underlying time scale), sex, employment in the chemical industry for at least one year and consumption of fruit and vegetables.

b

Radon exposure was entered as a continuous variable in all models as the time-weighted average concentration at residences from 1. January 1971 until censoring.with inclusion of a 10 year latency period.

c

Test of the null hypothesis that the linear trends are identical, for Wald test for interaction.

d

Time-weighted average concentration for NOx.
