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: There is considerable evidence that high concentrations of radon in air do not cause a material risk of mortality from cancers other than lung cancer, and increases in mortality from stomach and liver cancers and leukemia are unlikely to have been caused by radon.

TL;DR: The lung cancer risk per 1 WLM at low levels of exposure in U as well as Fe mines indicated a certain elevation compared with the risk at higher accumulated exposure, and the observed effects of smoking and exposure to alpha radiation from Rn daughters were nearly additive.

TL;DR: It is confirmed that the lung carcinogenic effect of radon persists even when smoking is adjusted for, with arguments in favor of a sub-multiplicative interaction between radon and smoking.
