A linear, no threshold model is what they use.

So 1200 people jumping off a one-foot drop causes as many fatalities as 12 people jumping off a 100 foot drop.

Excellent example. I can see some EPA creep’s head exploding if you told him that.

Better yet, a person jumping off a 1-foot drop 1200 times injures him as badly as jumping off a 1200-foot drop one time.
