Radon gas is a natural radioactive gas that is a natural decay product of uranium that emits a type of ionizingradiation. Radon gas is a known cause of lung cancer, with an estimated 12% of lung cancer deaths attributable to radon gas, or about 21,000 lung-cancer-related deaths annually ...

Radon. You can’t see, smell, or taste this gas. It’s found in soil and rocks and gives off radiation. Radon enters homes, schools, and other buildings through small cracks in the foundation. It seeps into 1 in 15 homes in the U.S. and causes about 21,000 lung cancer deaths each...
Radon-induced lung cancers are mainly caused by low and moderate rather than by high radon concentrations, because of the large number of people exposed to indoor radon in homes with such low concentrations. 氡诱发的肺癌主要是中低浓度、 而不是高浓度的氡造成的, 因为有许多人在家中接触这种低浓度...
96% of Canadians have not tested their homes for cancer-causing radon gas, Canadian Cancer Society survey showsSteven LewisHealthcarepapers
Background: Radon gas is well known to cause lung cancer at high exposure levels. It is present to some extent in all residential homes in low concentrations. The health consequences of chronic low-level exposure are much more difficult to determine, but Health Canada estimates that radon is ...
>85% of lung cancers are caused by cigarette smoking • Risk increases with the total number of cigarettes smoked • Precise quantification via “pack-years” = (average number of packs per day) × (number of years); useful in research,notclinically ...
The vast majority are caused by carcinogens in tobacco smoke, including secondhand smoke. Other risks include exposure to carcinogenic industrial and air pollutants (asbestos, uranium, arsenic, nickel, chromium, iron oxides, coal dust, and radioactive dusts), concentrations of radon gas, and ...
Small cell lung cancer is mainly caused by tobacco smoking. Small cell lung cancer starts in the bronchi and slowly spreads to other areas. However, for small cell lung cancer, the staging process is done differently and it is classified as either limited stage or extensive-stage disease. Limi...
