  • Impact of indoor radon exposure on lung cancer incidence in Slovenia [Elektronski vir]
    Birk, Mojca ...
    Lung cancer is one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers worldwide. Radon is a radioactive gas whose concentrations can accumulate indoors. The long-term exposure to radon is considered ... carcinogenic to humans and is an important risk factor for lung cancer. Our epidemiological study investigated the impact of indoor radon exposure on the incidence of lung cancer in Slovenia over a period of 40 years. Around 60 newly diagnosed cases of lung cancer per year (out of a population of around 2 million) can be attributed to radon exposure in residential environments in the period 1978–2017, which corresponds to 5.5% of all lung cancer cases. The most important information that needs to be communicated to the Slovenian public and decision-makers about the health risk and about support for preventive measures is that living in areas with elevated radon levels is associated with a higher risk of lung cancer.
