Carcinogen Alphabet: “R” for Radon
Radon (radon-222) is a hazardous gas in many workplaces and residences in the UK with radon being the second largest cause of lung caner in the UK with up to 2,000 fatal cancer each year.
A risk assessment for radon should be conducted in all below ground workplaces in the UK and all workplaces in radon affected areas.
In support of the “No Time to Lose” Campaign the SEL Group will be running an ABC’s of carcinogens campaign and each week we shall release details regarding a different well known carcinogen.
