Abstract
Lifetime lung cancer risks were computed using EPA/BEIR-VI models employing recent North Cyprus statistics (4-year averages from 2012 to 2016) to address public concerns about radon risk. The excess relative risk, the lifetime risk of lung cancer (Re), and lifetime relative risk were estimated in the Nicosia population for both genders of non-smoker and smokers. The excess relative risk average value for age < 55 y, 55 y <= age <= 64 y, 65 y <= age <= 74 y, and age >= 75 y groups were 0.38, 0.23, 0.13, and 0.04, respectively.
