The international incidence of myeloid leukaemia, cancer of the kidney, melanoma, and certain childhood cancers all show significant correlation with radon exposure in the home. For myeloid leukaemia, analysis suggests that in the UK 6-12% of incidence may be attributed to radon. In Cornwall, where radon levels are higher, the range is 23-43%. For the world average radon exposure of 50 Bq.m-3, 13-25% of myeloid leukaemia at all ages may be caused by radon.
髓系白血病、肾癌、黑色素瘤以及某些儿童癌症的国际发病率均与家庭中氡暴露存在显著关联。对于髓系白血病，分析表明在英国，6% - 12%的发病率可能归因于氡。在氡水平较高的康沃尔郡，这一比例范围为23% - 43%。对于全球平均氡暴露量50贝克勒尔·立方米−3而言，各年龄段13% - 25%的髓系白血病可能由氡所致。
