This study examines the global evolution of scientific understanding regarding radon exposure and its health implications, focusing on transition from early occupational limits epidemiological risk assessments to molecular-level attributions radon-induced diseases. Since 1990s, advancements in genetic molecular research have provided growing evidence suggesting that may leave a distinct oncological signature, potentially allowing for more precise differentiation between lung cancers those caused by other factors. While this field continues evolve, implications extend beyond assessment include legal, medical, regulatory frameworks. Beyond cancer, contemporary has explored links range non-oncological diseases, including leukemia, kidney neurodegenerative disorders, chronic respiratory conditions. The further explores ethical legal consequences these findings, particularly context governance, compensation claims, regulations. paper also hybrid nature as both naturally occurring anthropogenically intensified hazard, complicating perception public policy responses. Additionally, phenomenon "contaminated communities," is discussed, wherein prolonged disrupts social structures contributes psychological distress, economic losses, disputes. By analyzing through lens toxic disaster theory, outlines sequential stages responses, initial uncertainty intervention societal adaptation. findings highlight broader challenge environmental governance: how are integrated into policies amid political constraints. Ultimately, underscores need continuous inquiry proactive policymaking address full spectrum risks associated with exposure.
