| Abstract: | This paper aims to present a cost-benefit analysis of a possible future governmental intervention against radon in existing Danish one-family houses. Danish building regulation recommends simple remedial measures for radon levels. This study seeks to answer the question: Is it socio-economically worthwhile to avert lung cancer deaths by reducing radon levels in the most exposed dwellings? It is found that an intervention based on the anti-radon measures recommended by the Danish building regulation would, if implemented, avert less than 30 deaths each year. |
