• iArc monogrAphs on the evAluAtion oF cArcinogenic risks to humAns (2012, background): “Although subject to some uncertainty, these results suggest that about 8–15% of the lung cancer deaths in Europe and North America may be attributed to residential radon exposure, making radon the second leading cause of lung cancer death after tobacco smoking in those regions.”
• Lung cancer in never smokers — a different disease (2007, background): “Several case–control studies have been conducted to determine risk estimates from the general population, and although some studies have found significant association between residential radon exposure and lung cancer risk, others have no”
