StatisticsLung-cancer risk to the general population from indoor radon remains controversial, although studies of radon exposure have established that radon decay products have been a cause of lung cancer among miners. For the case group of patients, suffering from lung cancer, and the control ...
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas found in many terrestrial materials, including rocks and soils. Due to the potential health risks linked to persistent exposure to high radon concentrations, it is essential to investigate indoor radon accumulation. This study generated indoor radon index...
Indoor radon is a common source of problems related to public safety and health. It endangers human health and is one of the major causes of lung cancer. In the present study, a questionnaire-based survey was conducted to investigate the level of public knowledge regarding indoor radon in Chin...

You can't see or smell it, but long-term exposure to this radioactive gas is the top cause of lung cancer in non-smokers. Temperature Temperature is not just a matter of comfort, it can negatively affect sleep quality, mood, and alertness. Humidity High humidity promotes mold growth...
2.2. Materials, design and procedure Participants first completed survey measures of their familiarity with and knowledge of radon. The knowledge questions probed basic factual knowledge of radon (e.g. it is a gas, exposure causes lung cancer), understanding of testing and remediation. The full se...
The main risk from high radon direct exposure for extended periods of time, is the increased threat of lung cancer. Official statistics estimate that over 1100 people die in the UK every year from lung cancer as a result of radon direct exposure. For the majority of people, radon is the ...
It's a great fit for always-on radon detection in basements and ground floors where radon levels are usually the highest. Monitor the air around you Radon You can't see or smell it, but long-term exposure to this radioactive gas is the top cause of lung cancer in non-smokers. ...
