Regione Lazio in Italy in the lead for exposure to radon 
Lazio is the region topped the list for exposure to radon, a radioactive gas naturally occurring carcinogen that increases the risk of cancer. Lazio has the highest pollution levels in homes with 119 Bq/m3 (Becquerel per cubic meter, ie the number of nuclear transformations per second that are issued in a cubic meter of air) against the Italian average of 70. This is what emerges from the first edition of the Environment Report Osservasalute 2008, submitted July 28, 2009 at the Gemelli Polyclinic in Rome. This is an in-depth analysis of the state of health of the environment and its effects on the health of the Italian population carried out by the National Health in the Italian Regions, based at the Catholic University of Rome, and is coordinated by Walter Ricciardi, director of the Institute of Hygiene of the faculty of medicine and surgery. The findings show that Lazio is a region where is located the largest number of homes deemed most at risk in relation to radon concentrations above 400 Bq/m3. The main source of this gas is in fact the ground, especially as the type of volcanic tuff, often present in buildings in Rome.
