Human-made buildings can artificially concentrate radioactive radon gas of geologic origin,
exposing occupants to harmful alpha particle radiation emissions that damage DNA and …

Radioactive radon gas inhalation is a major cause of lung cancer worldwide and is a
consequence of the built environment. The average radon level of properties built in a given …

Background: The inhalation of naturally occurring radon (222Rn) gas from indoor air
exposes lung tissue to α-particle bombardment, a highly mutagenic form of ionizing radiation …

Background Radon is the second-leading cause of lung cancer worldwide. Most indoor
exposure occurs by diffusion of soil gas. Radon is also found in well water, natural gas, and …

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 …

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 …

This review study examines the relationship between radon and geology, including its
origins, transmission, and accumulation, as well as its impact on human health and …

Exposure to indoor radon has been determined to be the second leading cause of lung
cancer after tobacco smoking. Canadian population risk of radon induced lung cancer was …

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 …

Residential radon has been found to be associated with lung cancer in epidemiological/
ecological studies and the researchers have inappropriately concluded that residential …
