Background: Results of numerous epidemiologic studies of carcinogenic effects of indoor radon conducted in different countries in the past 40 years remain controversial. To assess the contribution of the residential radon exposure in the development of lung cancer in the population of the Russian region with a high radon hazard we conducted a cancer epidemiology study based on a multifactorial analysis. Methods: The study was conducted in the town of Lermontov situated in the area with high background radon concentrations and lung cancer rates of the Caucasian Mineral Water Region of Russia. High indoor radon levels were found in the houses of urban residents, mostly employed by the mining and chemical enterprise. The cohort consisted of 122 lung cancer cases and 208 controls. Each of 330 study participants was characterized by a set of 23 indices reflecting known lung cancer risk factors. We also collected data on occupational and residential radon exposure of all subjects. Results: The analysis of a combined effect of 23 different lung cancer risk factors based on pattern recognition methods showed that the contribution of the non-occupational radon exposure was only about 2% whereas that of the occupational radon exposure equaled 15%. Conclusion: Our findings showed that the effect of the residential radon exposure on the lung cancer rate was 15-20 times weaker than the effects of the main risk factors such as smoking, occupational hazards, chronic lung diseases, social and household factors, etc., although for the population of Lermontov this factor was 2-3 times stronger than that found in the Ural towns of Russia.

The aim of the study was to assess the effect of residential radon exposure on the risk of lung cancer in never-smokers and to ascertain if environmental tobacco smoke modifies the effect of residential radon.We designed a multicentre hospital-based case–control study in a radon-prone area (Galicia, Spain). All participants were never-smokers. Cases had an anatomopathologically confirmed primary lung cancer and controls were recruited from individuals undergoing minor, non-oncological surgery. Residential radon was measured using alpha track detectors.We included 521 individuals, 192 cases and 329 controls, 21% were males. We observed an odds ratio of 2.42 (95% CI 1.45–4.06) for individuals exposed to ≥200 Bq·m−3 compared with those exposed to <100 Bq·m−3. Environmental tobacco smoke exposure at home increased lung cancer risk in individuals with radon exposure >200 Bq·m−3. Individuals exposed to environmental tobacco smoke and to radon concentrations >200 Bq·m−3 had higher lung cancer risk than those exposed to lower radon concentrations and exposed to environmental tobacco smoke.Residential radon increases lung cancer risk in never-smokers. An association between residential radon exposure and environmental tobacco smoke on the risk of lung cancer might exist.
