Ecological Studies

Professor Emeritus, and Member of the UN Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR), of the Central Laboratory for Radiological Protection, Dr. Zbigniew Jaworowski also discusses (1995a) home radon and lung cancer:

"Epidemiological studies of a relation between the radon levels in homes and lung cancer seem to be also in disagreement with the non-threshold principle, and may suggest a hormetic effect. In the United States, in a study covering 89% of population. the people living in houses with radon air concentration higher than average level were found to have a lower mortality from lung cancer (Cohen 1993).
