Excess relative rates of lung cancer incidence per 100 working level months (ERR/100 WLM^ among male uranium miners in the Příbram region of the Czech Republic, 1977–1996. Modeled as continuous WLM (3a), exposure rate (3b), and windows of time since exposure (3c).

All models adjusted for age, birth cohort, and smoking. Reported estimates for never smoker and smoker estimates were obtained by including interaction terms between smoking status and radon exposure. Radon exposure is lagged 5 years
