Radon-222

01/01/1990 - "Studies of underground miners have consistently shown an increased risk of lung cancer with cumulative exposure to radon-222 and its decay products. "
01/01/2022 - "Radon-222 is pervasive in our environment and the second leading cause of lung cancer induction after smoking while it is simultaneously used to mediate anti-inflammatory effects. "
06/01/2021 - "Lifetime risk of lung cancer calculated using data for several miner cohorts were 2.4-7.5 × 10-4per working level month (WLM) of radon-222 progeny exposure for a mixed male/female population and 3.0-9.6 × 10-4per WLM for a male population. "
12/23/2020 - "Socio-demographic, smoking, occupational and spirometric characteristics, lung cancer confirmation and histologic type and radon-222 concentration in patients' homes were collected. "
01/01/2003 - "(1) Lung cancer in underground miners exposed by inhalation to radon-222 gas and its short-lived progeny. "

04/03/2000 - "Chromosomal aberrations of blood lymphocytes induced in vitro by radon-222 daughter alpha-irradiation."

08/01/2023 - "It is well known that exposure to a high concentration of radon-222 causes severe health effects, including cancer. "
01/01/1988 - "Radon-222 concentration in groundwater and cancer mortality in North Carolina."
06/01/2009 - "Radon-222 is the one internal emitter for which control of exposure is based on direct information on cancer risks, with extensive information available on lung cancer induction by radon progeny in mines and consistent data on risks in homes. "
10/01/2019 - "Such an explanation would be consistent with the inflammation and fibrosis seen in tumor-bearing tissues irradiated by radon-222, radium-226, thorium-232, plutonium-239, and other α-emitting radionuclides. "

09/01/1981 - "[Observations on the effect of therapeutic doses of radon-222 on the healing on long bone fractures]."
