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: These data provide firm evidence that residential radon acts as a cause of lung cancer in the general population and provide a solid basis for the formulation of policies with which to manage risk from radon and reduce deaths from the most common fatal cancer in Europe.

TL;DR: Further work is needed to obtain more reliable estimates of the risk of lung cancer associated with residential radon and on the cost-effectiveness of various intervention strategies before the most appropriate policies can be developed for managing exposure to this natural carcinogen.

TL;DR: More reliable estimates of the risk of lung cancer resulting from radon are needed to enable appropriate policies to be developed for managing the consequences of exposure to radon.
