Attributable risk of lung cancer deaths due to indoor radon exposure
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 concentrations, is associated with lung cancer in the general population. This paper reviewed studies from several countries to assess the attributable risk (AR) of lung cancer death due to indoor radon exposure and the effect of ...
متن کاملAssessment of lung cancer risk due to indoor radon exposure in inhabitants of the state of Azad Kashmir Pakistan
Background: Several epidemiological studies conducted on underground miner’s show that exposure to elevated levels of radioactive radon gas is expected to increase the risk of lung cancer. Relative risk of lung cancer is almost linear with radon exposure. Elevated concentrations of radon are not only reported within mines but also for closed indoor environment of general public houses....
متن کاملLung Cancer Risk Attributable to Indoor Radon in a High Radon Potential Region of France
Awareness of the health risks due to exposure to indoor radon has raised concern about its impact in the general population. Using all available epidemiologic results, our goal is to accurately estimate this risk based on data collected in a high radon potential region of France (Franche-Comté). For this study, we considered exposure (response relations derived from cohorts of miners and from j...

متن کاملLung Cancer Attributable to Indoor Radon Exposure in France: Impact of the Risk Models and Uncertainty Analysis
OBJECTIVE The inhalation of radon, a well-established human carcinogen, is the principal-and omnipresent-source of radioactivity exposure for the general population of most countries. Scientists have thus sought to assess the lung cancer risk associated with indoor radon. Our aim here is to assess this risk in France, using all available epidemiologic results and performing an uncertainty analy...
