Abstract

Indoor radon is a well-documented environmental factor as a second cause of lung cancer. Based on the chronological data on indoor radon concentration, lung cancer incidence, and the distribution of sex-age-specific population, the risk of lung cancer caused by indoor radon exposure in a total of 15 cities in China was assessed by using the risk model developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in this study. The estimate revealed that both the excess relative risk (ERR) and lifetime relative risk (LRR) have obviously increased after 2010. The population attributable risk (PAR) in 2016 was estimated in a range from 6.66% to 22.42%, with a median of 15.33% for the 15 cities. The lung cancer incidence attributed to indoor radon in 2016 ranged from 3.96 to 15.07 per 10,000 population in males and 1.21 to 8.27 per 10,000 population in females. Across age and sex, the risk of lung cancer caused by indoor radon was found more pronounced in males and 40-45 age groups. The chronological variation of radon concentrations was considered in this study; the estimate of lung cancer caused by indoor radon in China is considered more reasonable than ever before.

2006-2016年中国室内氡暴露致肺癌风险评估:多城市纵向分析

室内氡是一个有充分证据的环境因素，是肺癌的第二大原因。基于室内氡浓度、肺癌发病率和性别年龄人群分布的时间序列数据，采用美国环境保护署(EPA)开发的风险模型，对中国15个城市室内氡暴露导致肺癌的风险进行了评估。结果表明，2010年以后，城市居民的超额相对危险度(ERR)和终生相对危险度(LRR)均有明显的上升趋势。2016年15个城市的人口归因风险(PAR)在6.66% ~ 22.42%之间，中位数为15.33%。2016年室内氡导致的肺癌发病率男性为3.96 ~ 15.07 /万，女性为1.21 ~ 8.27 /万。在不同年龄和性别中，室内氡引起肺癌的风险在男性和40-45岁年龄组中更为明显。本研究考虑了氡浓度的年代性变化;中国室内氡引起肺癌的估计被认为比以往任何时候都更加合理。

期刊介绍： The quality of the environment within buildings is a topic of major importance for public health. Indoor Air provides a location for reporting original research results in the broad area defined by the indoor environment of non-industrial buildings. An international journal with multidisciplinary content, Indoor Air publishes papers reflecting the broad categories of interest in this field: health effects; thermal comfort; monitoring and modelling; source characterization; ventilation and other environmental control techniques. The research results present the basic information to allow designers, building owners, and operators to provide a healthy and comfortable environment for building occupants, as well as giving medical practitioners information on how to deal with illnesses related to the indoor environment.
