Abstract
Radon daughter exposure is a well-known cause of lung cancer in miners. Since radon daughters are known to attach to aerosol particles, it was also of interest to study to what extent radon daughters in indoor air might attach to cigarette smoke. Experiments were undertaken, which showed that moderate concentrations of radon daughters indoors could increase considerably and even more than double in the presence of cigarette smoke. The radon daughter levels obtained together with cigarette smoke may imply a risk of lung cancer for active and passive smokers.
