Dose conversion of radon exposure according to new epidemiological findings (2008)
Tomasek, L., Rogel, A., Laurier, D., Tirmarche, M.
In 1993, ICRP-65 recommended that dose conversion of radon exposure should be based on the comparison of detriments between radon exposure and effective dose. The lifetime detriment from the radon...
French population exposure to radon, terrestrial gamma and cosmic rays (2005)
Billon, S., Morin, A., Caër, S., Baysson, H., Gambard, J. P., Backe, J. C., ...
In France, natural sources account for most of the population exposure to ionising radiation. This exposure varies widely with area. Radon and gamma-ray exposure data come from national measurement...

Seasonal correction factors for estimating radon exposure in dwellings in France (2003)
Baysson, H., Billon, S., Laurier, D., Rogel, A., Tirmarche, M.
Indoor radon concentrations are subject to seasonal variation with a maximum in winter and a minimum in summer. Procedures to correct for seasonal variation are necessary in order to get an unbiased...
Intercomparison of passive radon-detectors under field conditions in epidemiological studies. (1999)
KREIENBROCK, L, Poffyn, André, TIRMARCHE, M, FEIDER, M, KIES, A, DARBY, SC
Poffijn, A., Tirmarche, M., Kreienbrock, L., Kayser, P., Darby, S.
The results of the small case-control studies performed in a number of countries prove the feasibility of this type of technique in qualifying the risk of indoor radon. However, as the final purpose...
Epidemiological Study of Regional Cancer Mortality in France and Natural Radiation (1988)
Tirmarche, M., Rannou, A., Mollie, A., Sauve, A.
The publication of the atlas of cancer mortality in France gave us the opportunity to study the mortality rates by cancer in some 'd�partments' presenting a high level of natural gamma radiation,...

Objective To determine the risk of lung cancer associated with exposure at home to the radioactive disintegration products of naturally occurring radon gas
Baysson, H, Laurier, D, Tirmarche, M, Valenty, M, Giraud, J
OBJECTIVE—An excess of cancer was suspected by workers of the metallurgy department at the French Atomic Energy Commissariat (CEA) after several deaths from cancer were reported in 1983 and...
Mortality of a cohort of French uranium miners exposed to relatively low radon concentrations.
Tirmarche, M., Raphalen, A., Allin, F., Chameaud, J., Bredon, P.
A cohort mortality study has been performed on French uranium miners having experienced more than 2 years of underground mining, with first radon exposure between 1946 and 1972. Vital status has been...
