Epidemiology and Risk Estimation. Radiat. Res. 166, 193–208 (2006). Epidemiological …

To date, epidemiological studies of risk from residential radon have not convincingly
demonstrated an association with lung cancer. These case-control studies, however, have …

A study of lung cancer risk from residential radon exposure and its radioactive progeny was
performed with 200 cases (58% male, 42% female) and 397 controls matched on age and …

Studies of underground miners have provided a wealth of data about the risk of lung cancer
from exposure to radon's progeny elements, but the application of the miner data to the …

Residential radon levels were monitored on most homes occupied by approximately 1500
subjects in a case-control study of lung cancer conducted in Winnipeg, Canada. Indoor …

The alpha dose per unit radon daughter exposure in mines and homes is comparable at
about 5 mGy/WLM. This means that excess lung cancer risk determined in follow-up studies …

The following sections are included: Lung Cancer Studies of miners Estimates of lifetime risk
associated with indoor radon exposure Factors that may affect risk estimates Sex and age at …

Some recent estimates of lung cancer risk from exposure to radon progeny in homes have
been based on models developed from a pooled analysis of 11 cohorts of underground …

Radon is a potent lung carcinogen at exposure levels experienced by most underground
hard-rock miners (1). The evidence for residential radon exposure is less certain, but current …

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 …
