In graph A, the frequency of lung cancer j.n a given population is
correlated with the effect of smoking for i.nstance 20 cigarette pex
day o v e r o n e ts l i fe sp a n . F o r sever al year s, [o cancer cases wi]- l be
detectecl, but after that, an increasi4g number of people will get can-
eer. Graph B shows a non-moki-ng group of as'bestos workers, who af-
ter a certain number of years start cleveloping lung cancer with in-
creasi-ng frequency. In graph C, we imagj.ne a group of asbestos wor-
kers who also are smoking. Here the lung cancer cases start showing
up even below the expectecl number of yearswo"""/it was possible to
measure any effect from elther snoking or asbestos alone, and the to-
ta1 effeet is a lot larger than tle sun of the two effects oxer time.
This effect is callecl synergistic and may be a very important effect
for many materials, for instance sith raclioactivity ancl heat
pollution in combination with other pollutants. Therefore, we doulcl
not focus the attention too strongly on gllg pollutant at a time. There
is a need to see the totq_1_piqt3.tg, and j.nclicators should reflect this
