1. An individual is exposed 75% of the time to radon with a physical concentration of 4.6 pCi/L and an equilibrium factor of F = 0.6. The remaining 25% of the time, the individual is exposed to radon at a concentration of 1.3 pCi/L and with an equilibrium factor of F = 0.8. What is the annual radon exposure (on an EEC basis) in MBq h m-3?

2. If the individual in the previous problem is a nonsmoking male and receives the same annual radon exposure for his entire life, what is the probability he will die from lung cancer as a result his radon exposure?
