International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2022 Indoor radon exposure is raising concerns due to its impact on health, namely its known relationship with lung cancer. Consequently, there is an urgent need to understand the risk factors associated with radon exposure, and how this can be harmful to the

Outdoor Radon as a Tool to Estimate Radon Priority Areas—A Literature Overview
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2022 Doses from the exposure to outdoor radon are typically an order of magnitude smaller than those from indoor radon, causing a greater interest on investigation of the latter for radiation protection issues.

Residential radon exposure and cancer
Oncology Reviews, 2022 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 can cause oxidative damage to DNA, increasing the risk of lung cancer ...

General Overview of Radon Studies in Health Hazard Perspectives
Journal of Oncology, 2021 The adverse human health effects due to ionizing radiation are well known. Radon is the major source of background radiation among those that are of natural origin. It contributes about 55% of the natural radiation dose to humans.

Long-Term Impacts of Weather Conditions on Indoor Radon Concentration Measurements in Switzerland
Atmosphere, 2022 Radon is a natural and radioactive gas that can accumulate in indoor environments. Indoor radon concentration (IRC) is influenced, among other factors, by meteorology, which is the subject of this paper.

Systematic review and meta-analysis of residential radon and lung cancer in never-smokers
European Respiratory Review, 2021 Background Globally, radon is the leading risk factor for lung cancer in never-smokers (LCINS). In this study, we systematically reviewed and meta-analysed the evidence of the risk of LCINS associated with residential radon exposure.

New metrology for radon at the environmental level
Measurement science and technology, 2021 Radon gas is the largest source of public exposure to naturally occurring radioactivity. However, radon is also a useful tracer for understanding atmospheric processes, assessing the accuracy of chemical transport models, and enabling integrated ...
