Radon Exposure: A Comprehensive Review of the Health Risks and Therapeutic Potentials
Radon, a naturally occurring radioactive gas, is classified as a Group 1 carcinogen by the World Health Organization (WHO) and remains a significant environmental health hazard. Traditionally linked to lung cancer, radon exposure is the second leading cause of lung cancer worldwi...
