Radon is harmful
Global study confirms the harmful effects of radon
A study based on data from 66 countries and presented in Environmental Health Studies (EHP) confirms that there is a clear link between exposure to radon and the risk of lung cancer. Updated data from 2012 show that around 226,000 people died that year from radon-related lung cancer. That means that about three per cent of all those who die from some form of cancer do so because of radon.
The study is presented in issue no 5 (2018) of EHP and can be accessed here » ehp.niehs.nih.gov/EHP2503
