The cellular and molecular carcinogenic effects of radon exposure: a review.

International journal of molecular sciences - 5 Jul 2013

Robertson Aaron, Allen James, Laney Robin, Curnow Alison

Abstract excerpt

Radon-222 is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that is responsible for approximately half of the human annual background radiation exposure globally. Chronic exposure to radon and its decay products is estimated to be the second leading cause of lung cancer behind smoking, and links to other forms of neoplasms have been postulated. Ionizing radiation emitted during the radioactive decay of radon and its...
