Radon and Non‐Cancer Pulmonary Health Effects in Children: A State of The Art Review

as an implementable strategy to improve lung health. Further research is needed to expand our understanding of radon's potential role in non-cancer respiratory health and how to optimize radon mitigation strategies to improve non-cancer pulmonary health morbidity and outcomes. The purpose of this state-of-the-art review is to provide an overview of the current state of knowledge of radon's non-cancer respiratory health effects, highlighting our current understanding of radon's known health outcomes, synthesize how health outcome findings of this topic have changed over time to give rise to our current understanding of radon's pulmonary health effects in children, and suggest future directions for research.

Abstract

as an implementable strategy to improve lung health. Further research is needed to expand our understanding of radon's potential role in non-cancer respiratory health and how to optimize radon mitigation strategies to improve non-cancer pulmonary health morbidity and outcomes. The purpose of this state-of-the-art review is to provide an overview of the current state of knowledge of radon's non-cancer respiratory health effects, highlighting our current understanding of radon's known health outcomes, synthesize how health outcome findings of this topic have changed over time to give rise to our current understanding of radon's pulmonary health effects in children, and suggest future directions for research.
