Column 1 indicates the approximate mSv dose for each fallout category for 20 years of exposure assuming shielding. Column 2 indicates the excess relative risk implied by the INWORKS study.4 Columns 3 and 4 display the approximate excess relative risk calculated using the hospital discharges for neoplasms in excess resulting from the estimates of the Random Effects models of column 2 in Tables 1 and 2, respectively, adjusted by the average number of per capita hospital discharges in zero fallout areas, equal to 1.08.
