Indoor radon concentration and risk and severity of inflammatory bowel diseases: a case–control study
Higher residential radon exposure might be inversely associated with IBD risk. However, it does not appear to influence disease progression. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings, since this is the first study on this topic, and chance or selection bias might be present.
