Indoor Air Radon

  • Chapter
Reviews of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology

Part of the book series: Reviews of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology ((RECT,volume 111))

Abstract

The presence of radon is a cause for concern, because it is radioactive; and inhalation of its decay products, or progeny, at sufficiently elevated levels is known to cause lung cancer.

The thoughts and ideas in this review are those of the author and are not necessarily those of the US Environmental Protection Agency.
