chronic exposure to radon, a naturally occurring radioactive gas found in some homes. The study drew on data from CanPath, including 730 CARTaGENE participants for whom in\u2011home radon measurements were performed. Researchers focused on healthy non\u2011smoking adults who had lived for several years in environments with either low or high radon levels, in order to compare a range of biological indicators. The findings will help improve understanding of the biological effects of long\u2011term low\u2011dose exposure and assess the relevance of biomarkers that could be used to detect this exposure in the population.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ft-contenu__row row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div
