Studies of radon‐exposed underground miners predict that residential radon is the second
leading cause of lung cancer mortality; however, case‐control studies of residential radon …

Background: Underground miners exposed to high levels of radon have an excess risk of
lung cancer. Residential exposure to radon is at much lower levels, and the risk of lung …

Background: Studies of underground miners exposed to radioactive radon and its decay
products have found that exposure increases risk of lung cancer. Consequently, when radon …

In the general population, evaluation of lung cancer risk from radon in houses is hampered
by low levels of exposure and by dosimetric uncertainties due to residential mobility. To …

Radon has long been known to contribute to risk of lung cancer, especially in undergound
miners who are exposed to large amounts of the carcinogen. Recently, however, lower …

Radon is an established human lung carcinogen naturally released as an odorless,
colorless gas from soil and rocks. It is a major environmental source of ionizing radiation and …

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the relation between residential exposure to radon and lung
cancer. METHODS: A literature search was performed using Medline and other sources. The …

Objectives Studies seeking direct estimates of the lung cancer risk associated with
residential radon exposure lasting several decades have been conducted in many …

Cohort studies have consistently shown underground miners exposed to high levels of
radon to be at excess risk of lung cancer, and extrapolations based on those results indicate …

Background Radioactive radon is an inert gas that can migrate from soils and rocks and
accumulate in enclosed areas, such as homes and underground mines. Studies of miners …
