  • Title: The radon issue: considerations on regulatory approaches and exposure evaluations on the basis of recent epidemiological results.
    Author: Bochicchio F.
    Journal: Appl Radiat Isot; 2008 Nov; 66(11):1561-6. PubMed ID: 18515126.
    Abstract:
    Recent epidemiological results have shown consistent statistically significant increases of lung cancer risk due to exposure to radon in dwellings at moderate levels of exposure, and a strong synergism with cigarette smoking. These results are summarized and discussed in relation to their possible implications for the regulatory control of radon and for future policies for the control of radon risk.
