Abstract

We read with interest the article by Axelsson et al. [1] about the potential risk of lung cancer due to inhalation of radioactive radon gas. Indeed, this has been the subject of many scientific papers around the world for years without clarification of whether there is risk or there is no risk when the radon concentration is low.
