Prevention

Translating risk to preventable burden by estimating numbers of bicycling injuries preventable by separated infrastructure on a Toronto, Ontario corridor

We estimated installation of fully separated cycle tracks along one Toronto corridor would prevent approximately 152.9 injuries and 0.9 fatalities over a 10-year period.

Evaluation of different radon guideline values based on characterization of ecological risk and visualization of lung cancer mortality trends in British Columbia, Canada

We examined how different radon concentration thresholds were associated with patterns of regional radon vulnerability, estimated areas and populations at risk, and lung cancer mortality trends in BC. Lowering the threshold from its current guideline value of 200 to 50 Bq m−3 resulted in better classification accuracy, a 2.5-fold increase in the relatively small population at risk, and persistent separation in lung cancer mortality trends between areas of high and low vulnerability.
