For non cancer risks like carbon monoxide poisoning thresholds are generally extremely important and relatively straightforward.
The problem is people are designed to get cancer, or alternatively we are very good at pushing cancer off long enough not to be important but no longer than that. So, the odds of cancer by 90 are very high, and simply shifting a few years early may take a relatively tiny change.
In other words models about cancer risks based on 18 year olds don't extrapolate well to 60 year olds.
