Unit Risk:

The unit risk factors (URFs) provide estimates of the risks due to a unit inventory of contaminant (i.e., risk/gram or risk/curie). URFs can be calculated for water, soil, air, and radiation. URFs can be used to calculate risk for quantities greater than unity only if the relationship is linear.
