Residential radon exposure and incident myocardial infarction and stroke risks in the All of Us Research Program
In this cohort study of 304,050 participants, residential radon exposure was significantly associated with elevated risks for incident MI and stroke. Our results suggest that risks may emerge at levels well below this action level. These findings call for further research incorporating household-level exposure measures and lifetime residential histories to confirm the association.
