TL;DR: Collectively, though not separately, these studies show appreciable hazards from residential radon, particularly for smokers and recent ex-smokers, and indicate that it is responsible for about 2% of all deaths from cancer in Europe.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that there are still uncertainties on the strength of the association between radon exposure and the risk of lung cancer, and the reason for this heterogeneity is found in the different study designs, different ways of measuring radon, different ranges of radon concentrations, varying information on confounding factors, but most importantly limited sample size in most of the individual studies.
