Journal ArticleDOI
Radon in homes and risk of lung cancer: collaborative analysis of individual data from 13 European case-control studies.
Sarah C. Darby,D. Hill,Anssi Auvinen,Juan Miguel Barros-Dios,H. Baysson,Francesco Bochicchio,H. Deo,R. Falk,Francesco Forastiere,Matti Hakama,Iris M. Heid,Lothar Kreienbrock,Michaela Kreuzer,Frédéric Lagarde,Mäkeläinen I,Colin R. Muirhead,Willi Oberaigner,Göran Pershagen,Alberto Ruano-Ravina,E. Ruosteenoja,A. Schaffrath Rosario,Margot Tirmarche,Ladislav Tomasek,Elise Whitley,Heinz Erich Wichmann,Richard Doll +25 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lung Cancer Risk from Radon and Progeny and Statement on Radon
Margot Tirmarche,John Harrison,Dominique Laurier,François Paquet,Eric Blanchardon,J. W. Marsh +5 more
TL;DR: It is now concluded that radon and its progeny should be treated in the same way as other radionuclides within the ICRP system of protection; that is, doses from rad on and its offspring should be calculated using I CRP biokinetic and dosimetric models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Residential radon and lung cancer – detailed results of a collaborative analysis of individual data on 7148 persons with lung cancer and 14 208 persons without lung cancer from 13 epidemiologic studies in Europe
Sarah C. Darby,D. Hill,H. Deo,Anssi Auvinen,Juan Miguel Barros-Dios,H. Baysson,Francesco Bochicchio,R. Falk,Sara Farchi,Adolfo Figueiras,Matti Hakama,Iris M. Heid,Nezahat Hunter,Lothar Kreienbrock,Michaela Kreuzer,Frédéric Lagarde,Mäkeläinen I,Colin R. Muirhead,Wilhelm Oberaigner,Göran Pershagen,E. Ruosteenoja,Angelika Schaffrath Rosario,Margot Tirmarche,Ladislav Tomasek,Elise Whitley,Heinz-Erich Wichmann,Richard Doll +26 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lung Cancer in Radon-Exposed Miners and Estimation of Risk From Indoor Exposure
Jay H. Lubin,John D. Boice,Christer Edling,Richard W. Hornung,Geoffrey R. Howe,Emil Kunz,Robert A. Kusiak,Howard I. Morrison,Edward P. Radford,Jonathan M. Samet,Margot Tirmarche,Alistair Woodward,Shu Xiang Yao,Donald A. Pierce +13 more
TL;DR: Reducing radon in all homes exceeding the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency's recommended action level may reduce lung cancer deaths about 2%-4%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human exposure to high natural background radiation: what can it teach us about radiation risks?
Jolyon H Hendry,Steven L. Simon,Andrzej Wojcik,Mehdi Sohrabi,Werner Burkart,Elisabeth Cardis,Dominique Laurier,Margot Tirmarche,Isamu Hayata,Isamu Hayata +9 more
TL;DR: The possible contribution of studies of populations living in high natural background radiation (HNBR) areas (Guarapari, Brazil; Kerala, India; Ramsar, Iran; Yangjiang, China), including radon-prone areas, to low dose risk estimation is reviewed.
