Simple Summary Radon represents the main risk factor of lung cancer in non-smokers and
the second one in smoking patients. In Europe, there are several radon-prone areas, but …

In present times, the levels of ionizing radiation (IR) on the surface of Earth are relatively low,
posing no high challenges for the survival of contemporary life forms. IR derives from natural …

Lung cancer is a heterogeneous group of diseases with multifactorial aetiology. Smoking
has been undeniably recognized as the main aetiological factor in lung cancer, but it should …

Lung cancer has the highest cancer mortality rate in developed countries. The principal risk
factor for lung cancer is tobacco use, with residential radon being the leading risk factor …

Doses from the exposure to outdoor radon are typically an order of magnitude smaller than
those from indoor radon, causing a greater interest on investigation of the latter for radiation …

This work highlights the importance of the Geogenic Radon Potential (GRP) component
