  • An Innovative Tool to Control Occupational Radon Exposure

    Open AccessLucia Martin‐Gisbert, Alberto Ruano-Ravina et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2022

    After smoking, indoor radon is the main contributor to lung cancer in many countries. The European Union (EU) Directive 2013/59/Euratom establishes a maximum reference level of 300 Bq/m 3 of radon concentration in the workplace, and an effective dose limit of 20 mSv per year for workers. If the radon concentration in a workplace exceeds the reference level, constructive mitigation applies. When constructive mitigation is not feasible, we propose …

  • Exposición al radón y cáncer genitourinario en mineros

    Open AccessEduardo Alarcón-Capel, Alberto Ruano-Ravina et al.ARTICLEGaceta Sanitaria2021

    Evaluar la asociación entre la exposición al radón y el cáncer genitourinario en población minera a través de una revisión sistemática de la literatura científica. Se realizó una revisión sistemática de la literatura científica en MEDLINE (PubMed) combinando términos MeSH (Medical Subject Heading) y términos libres. Se realizó una escala específica de valoración de la calidad de los estudios incluidos. Se incluyeron 17 estudios. Todos fueron estu…

  • Residential Radon in Manizales, Colombia

    Open AccessAlexandra Giraldo Osorio, Alberto Ruano-Ravina et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2021

    Radon is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless noble gas, causally related with the onset of lung cancer. We aimed to describe the distribution of radon exposure in the municipality of Manizales, Colombia, in order to estimate the population's exposure and establish the percentage of dwellings that surpass reference levels. A cross-sectional study representing all geographical areas was carried out by measuring indoor radon concentrations. Partici…

  • Residential radon and lung cancer

    Open AccessRaquel Barbosa-Lorenzo, Alberto Ruano-Ravina et al.ARTICLECadernos de Saude Publica2017References: 20

    Case-control studies show an association between residential radon and lung cancer. The aim of this paper is to investigate this association through a cohort study. We designed an ambispective cohort study using the Galician radon map, Spain, with controls drawn from a previous case-control study. Subjects were recruited between 2002 and 2009. The data were cross-checked to ascertain lung cancer incidence and then analysed using a Cox regression …

  • Attributable mortality to radon exposure in Galicia, Spain. Is it necessary to act in the face of this health problem

    Open AccessMónica Pérez‐Ríos, Juan Miguel Barros-Dios et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2010

    Although the estimates have been derived from a study with a relatively limited sample size, these results highlight the importance of radon exposure as a cause of lung cancer and its effect in terms of disease burden. Radon mitigation activities in the study area must therefore be enforced

  • Radon in homes and risk of lung cancer

    Open AccessS Darby, Sarah C Darby et al.ARTICLEBMJ2005

    OBJECTIVE: To determine the risk of lung cancer associated with exposure at home to the radioactive disintegration products of naturally occurring radon gas. DESIGN: Collaborative analysis of individual data from 13 case-control studies of residential radon and lung cancer. SETTING: Nine European countries. SUBJECTS: 7148 cases of lung cancer and 14,208 controls. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Relative risks of lung cancer and radon gas concentrations in…
