Indoor air quality has been the object of interest for scientists and specialists from the fields
of science such as chemistry, medicine and ventilation system design. This results from a …

Exposure to radon gas is the second most common cause of lung cancer after smoking. A
large number of studies have reported that exposure to indoor radon, even at low …

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 …

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 …

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

Background: Despite reductions in exposure for workers and the general public, radon
remains a leading cause of lung cancer. Prior studies of underground miners depended …

Background: Case–control studies conducted in North America, Europe, and Asia provided
evidence of increased lung cancer risk due to radon in homes. Here, the association …

Radon is a naturally occurring gas, classified as a Class 1 human carcinogen, being the
second most significant cause of lung cancer after tobacco smoking. A robust spatial …

Although radon gas is a known cause of lung cancer, the association between residential
radon and mortality from non-malignant respiratory disease has not been well characterised …

Background: The risk of indoor air radon for lung cancer is well studied, but the risks of
groundwater radon for both lung and stomach cancer are much less studied, and with mixed …
