Investigation of the relationship between lung cancer and radon in houses
Description
The objective of the project is a case-control study of exposure to radon in the home in Cornwall and Devon and lung cancer, to provide a more precise estimate of the risk of lung cancer from exposure in the home. Detailed residential histories and information about cigarette smoking and other risk factors for lung cancer will be collected for incident cases of lung cancer and also hospital and community controls. Attempts were made to measure radon concentrations in the current homes of all subjects. (R.P.) 3 tabs
