Introduction to Radon:
Continuing Education Course
Lung cancer is almost totally preventable by eliminating exposure to tobacco smoke and radon. Exposure to radon, a colorless, odorless gas from the decomposition of uranium in the ground, is associated with an estimated 15,400 to 21,800 cases, or approximately 10% of lung cancer cases in the United States each year. Every year, it is estimated that approximately 1,033 Kentuckians are diagnosed with radon-induced lung cancer. This course is designed to provide an update on radon, known negative health effects of radon (mainly lung cancer) and synergistic interactions between radon and tobacco smoke, as well as describe who is affected and the best way to provide information to patients.
