Abstract excerpt
Pulmonary deposition of alpha-particle-emitting radon daughters is estimated to account for 10% of all lung cancer deaths in the USA. However, the nature and timing of early (preneoplastic) genetic alterations in radon-associated lung cancer are still relatively uncertain. The purpose of this investigation was to determine whether genomic instability occurs after exposure of cultured normal human bronchial...
