This memo is in response to your request that the Carcinogen Assessment
Group (CAG) review the paper by Repace and Lowrey on the risk of lung cancer
due to passive smoking. Herman Gibb of the CAG has prepared a review of the
Repace and Lowrey paper, and' a copy of his review is attached. His conclusion
is that of the two annual lung cancer risk estimates for passive smoking
generated by the authors, the lower risk of 0.87 x 10-5 is better supported.
It should be noted that even this risk would, given the size of the population
exposed to passive smoking, translate into a significant populatiion rilsk in
comparison to other environmental carciinogens.
