Radon / Elements

Radon / Elements

Elements that are naturally radioactive include uranium, thorium, carbon, and potassium, as well as radon and radium. Uranium is the first element in a long series of decay that produces radium and radon. Uranium is referred to as the parent element, and radium and radon are called daughters. Radium and radon also form daughter elements as they decay.

(September 2009) The United Nation's World Health Organization (WHO) says that radon is a worldwide health risk in homes. Dr. Maria Neira of WHO said that "Most radon-induced lung cancers occur from low and medium dose exposures in people's homes. Radon is the second most important cause of lung cancer after smoking in many countries."

The Iowa Radon Lung Cancer Study was a large-scale epidemiology study initiated in 1993 and funded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS).  The study assessed the risk posed by residential radon exposure. The 5-year study was performed in Iowa and the participants were women throughout Iowa who lived in their current home for at least 20 years.  Over a thousand Iowa women took part in the study.  Four hundred and thirteen of the participants were women who had developed lung cancer, the remaining 614 participants were controls who did not have lung cancer.  The study was limited to women, because they historically tend to spend more time at home and they have less occupational exposure to other lung carcinogens.

Driving Radon Action and Awareness at the Federal Level

Mr. David Rowson, Director of EPA's Indoor Environments Division, talks with Douglas Kladder, Director of the Center for Environmental Research and Technology, Inc. (CERTI), about federal commitments aimed to integrate radon awareness into several new collaborations, especially Healthy Indoor Environment Protocols for Home Energy Upgrades, HUD's Healthy Homes Initiatives and the Federal Radon Action Plan. Health hazards indoors affect the quality of life for so many, and radon, the second leading cause of lung cancer in the US, is no exception.
