Damage caused by radon gas alpha particle radiation exposure can, dependent on the dose, take between 10-30 years before the diagnosis of lung cancer is determined.
Lung cancer risk associated with indoor exposure to radon gas increases for smokers and recent ex-smokers, and indicate that it is responsible for about 25 of all deaths from cancer in Europe.
Genetic mutations caused by chronic exposure of lung cells to alpha particles from radon gas decay drive cancer formation. As with all cancers, radon-induced lung cancer forms when a genetically compromised cell grows, divides and/or spreads unchecked through the body. The higher the number of genetic mutations thee more likely the chance an individual has of developing cancer.
Radon decay products concentrated in indoor air increases the likelihood of developing lung cancer.
