Surveys of indoor radon concentrations, when taken together with estimates of the risk of
lung cancer from studies in miners of uranium and other hard rocks, suggest that residential …

Using data from a number of radon surveys, it was assessed that on average, radon progeny
concentrations in Canadian homes are about three times higher than in school buildings …

Purpose Residential exposure to radon is considered to be the second cause of lung cancer
after smoking. The purpose of this study was to estimate the number of lung cancer cases …

Exposure to the indoor air pollutant radon is considered to be a significant health risk
globally, as has been demonstrated by many studies over time. A recent WHO statement on …

Pooled analyses of epidemiological case--control studies on lung cancer and residential
radon have shown that radon exposure in dwellings increases lung cancer risk, and that the …

Background: The aim of the study was to assess radon concentration in schoolrooms in a

We aim to provide an overview of the research available on indoor radon and lung cancer,
with a special focus on Spanish investigations. Early studies on underground miners …

In epidemiologic studies on lung cancer risk due to indoor radon the quantification of
individual radon exposure over a long time period is one of the main issues. Therefore …

Following initial in vitro and in vivo studies and important studies of uranium miners,
scientists have now completed impressive case-control studies of lung cancer risk from …

Radon is a major source of ionizing radiation exposure for the general population. It is
known that exposure to radon is a risk factor for the onset of lung cancer. In this study, the …
