Complications of Radon poisoning:
Being exposed to
substances such as certain chemicals, metals, or pesticides
can increase the risk of cancer. Asbestos, nickel, cadmium,
uranium, radon, vinyl chloride, benzidene, and benzene are
examples of well-known carcinogens. These may act alone or
along with another carcinogen, such as cigarette smoke, to
increase the risk of cancer. For example, inhaling asbestos
fibers increases the risk of lung diseases, including
cancer, and the cancer risk is especially high for asbestos
workers who smoke. It is important to follow work and safety
rules to avoid or minimize contact with dangerous
materials.1
