Exposure to radon is a well-established cause of lung cancer in the general population. The aim of the present work is to identify and summarize the results of studies that have assessed the risk of lung cancer due to indoor radon, based on a systematic review of relevant published studies. Sixteen studies from 12 different countries met eligibility criteria. Large differences in radon concentrations were noted between and within individual countries, and variety of risk models used to estimate the attributable fraction. Calculating again the attributable fraction in each of these studies using the same model (coefficient of 16% per 100 becquerels per cubic meter (Bq/m3) derived from the European residential radon study), the new attributable fraction of these selected studies ranged from 3% to 17%. Radon remains a public health concern. Information about radon health risks is important and efforts are needed to decrease the associated health problems.
接触氡是普通人群中肺癌的一个已明确的病因。本研究的目的是通过对相关已发表研究进行系统综述,识别并总结评估室内氡导致肺癌风险的研究结果。来自12个不同国家的16项研究符合纳入标准。各国之间以及各国国内的氡浓度存在很大差异,并且用于估计归因分数的风险模型也多种多样。使用相同模型(源自欧洲住宅氡研究的每立方米100贝克勒尔(Bq/m³)系数为16%)再次计算这些研究中的每一项的归因分数,这些选定研究的新归因分数范围为3%至17%。氡仍然是一个公共卫生问题。关于氡健康风险的信息很重要,需要做出努力以减少相关的健康问题。
