摘要

Domestic radon levels in parts of the UK are sufficiently high to increase the risk of lung cancer in theoccupants. Public health campaigns in Northamptonshire, a designated radon Affected Area with 6.3% of homeshaving average radon levels over the UK Action Level of 200 Bq m~(-3), have encouraged householders to test forradon and then to carry out remediation in their homes, but have been only partially successful. Only 40% ofNorthamptonshire houses have been tested, and only 15% of householders finding raised levels proceed toremediate. Of those who did remediate, only 9% smoked, compared to a countywide average of 28.8%. This isunfortunate, since radon and smoking combine to place the individual at higher risk by a factor of around 4, andsuggests that current strategies to reduce domestic radon exposure are not reaching those most at risk. During2004-5, the NHS Stop Smoking Services in Northamptonshire assisted 2,808 smokers to quit to the 4-week stage,with some 30% of 4-week quitters remaining quitters at 1 year. We consider whether smoking cessationcampaigns make significant contributions to radon risk reduction on their own, by assessing individual occupants’risk of developing lung cancer from knowledge of their age, gender, and smoking habits, together with the radonlevel in their house. The results demonstrate that smoking cessation programmes have significant added value inradon affected areas, and contribute a greater health benefit than reducing radon levels in the smokers’ homes,whilst they remain smokers. Additionally, results are presented from a questionnaire-based survey of quitters,addressing their reasons for seeking help in quitting smoking, and whether knowledge of radon risks influencedthis decision. The impact of these findings on future public health campaigns to reduce the impact of radon andsmoking are discussed.
