Answer:
4,000 cancer deaths
Explanation:
One smoker usually receives radiation dose of 8 rems (radiation equivalent man)/year to his branchial tissue cells. Â Cancer dose (total radiation dose that if spread through a population would cause one additional cancer death) = 2,000 rems Â
1 Smoker         <--------------------------------- 8 rems
1,000000 smokers <-------------------------------- Â X Â rems
X = 8,000000 rems Â
If cancer dose implies 2,000 rems, that would cause one additional cancer, we’ll have that 4,000 additional cancer deaths will reach that population of a million people/year. This means the 0.4 % of the smoker population
