Health effects of radon: A review of the literature

1 Jan 2009

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Radon is natural radioactive noble gas that can be found in soil, water, outdoor and indoor air. Exposure to radon accounts for more that 50% of the annual effective dose of natural radioactivity. The purpose of the current review is to summarize recent literature and evaluate the weight of evidence on the adverse health effects of radon. CONCLUSIONS: Radon is an established human lung carcinogen based...
