Abstract

Without a doubt, radon is a harmful gas that is the greatest cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers and the second biggest cause of lung cancer in smokers. However, due to a lack of knowledge and limited research, this poisonous gas has received little attention in the southwestern area of Nigeria. As a result, a few studies have been compiled with the goal of policymakers using it as a baseline for radon monitoring in the region, which may also be used as a reference for future studies.

Keywords: Radon Concentration; Southwestern Nigeria; Ground water
