Following more detailed research undertaken in the UK during the 1970s and 1980s, it was recognised that concentrations of Radon in residential dwellings and other buildings could reach concentrations of a sufficiently high level to present a material risk of lung cancer.Concentration levels of Radon are measured in Becquerels per cubic metre (Bq/m3). In the UK, the action level is 200 Bq/m3. This represents the recommended limit for the activity concentration of Radon in UK homes. At that level, the lifetime risk of a non-smoker developing lung cancer is less than 1 in 200, but increases to 1 in 7 for a current smoker. Similarly, the lifetime risk increases significantly to 1 in 100 and 1 in 3 respectively, when indoor levels increase to 800 Bq/m3.
