Resumo: Radon-222 is a noble gas considered a Class 1 human carcinogen known as the second cause of lung cancer after smoking. Formed from uranium-238 present in uranium phosphorite which, when exhaled into the atmosphere, can accumulate indoors, posing a risk to human health. This study has the objective of analyze the risk of lung cancer associated with radon-222 in areas of uranium occurrence located in the Metropolitan Region of Recife, PE, Brazil. The monitoring of gas in the atmosphere of residences was carried out by exposing CR-39 detectors in diffusion chambers. The indoor radon concentrations found in the studied residences ranged from 2 to 1174 Bq m-3, being mostly higher than the values recommended by the World Health Organization and the European Union. It can be inferred that this study at the local level contributes to national estimates of lung cancer incidence, prioritizing health protection in inhabited areas with uraniferous occurrence.

Formado a partir do urânio-238 presente no fosforito uranífero que quando exalado para atmosfera pode se acumular em ambientes fechados, representando risco à saúde humana. Este estudo possui o objetivo de analisar o risco de câncer de pulmão associado ao radônio-222 em áreas de ocorrência uranífera localizadas na Região Metropolitana do Recife, PE, Brasil. A monitoração do gás na atmosfera das residências foi realizada por meio da exposição de detectores CR-39 em câmaras de difusão. As concentrações de radônio indoor encontradas nas residências estudadas variaram de 2 a 1174 Bq m-3, sendo em maior parte superiores aos valores recomendados pela Organização Mundial de Saúde e União Europeia. Pode-se inferir que este estudo em nível local contribui com as estimativas nacionais de incidência de câncer de pulmão, priorizando a proteção da saúde em áreas habitadas de ocorrência uranífera.Revista Brasileira Multidisciplinar - ReBraM2023-09-16info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://revistarebram.com/index.php/revistauniara/article/view/194510.25061/2527-2675/ReBraM/2023.v26i3.1945Revista Brasileira Multidisciplinar; v. 26 n. 3 (2023): Setembro-Dezembro; 70-812527-26751415-3580reponame:Revista Brasileira Multidisciplinarinstname:Universidade de Araraquara (UNIARA)instacron:UNIARAporhttp://revistarebram.com/index.php/revistauniara/article/view/1945/914Copyright (c) 2023 Revista Brasileira Multidisciplinarhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRamos, Mariana Luiza de Oliveira Santos Ramosda Rocha Leão Magalhães, MarceloEsthefany Melo da Silva , Karolayne Emiliano Gualberto Farias, EmersonJoacir De França, Elvis2024-02-17T01:04:40Zoai:ojs.revistarebram.com:article/1945Revistahttp://revistarebram.com/index.php/revistauniaraPRIhttps://revistarebram.com/index.php/revistauniara/oairevistauniara@uniara.com||2527-26752527-2675opendoar:2024-02-17T01:04:40Revista Brasileira Multidisciplinar - Universidade de Araraquara (UNIARA)false
