An estimate is approx. 20 000; it is practicalyy impossible to know exactly the cause of all lung cancers.

How many proton their are in radon?
Radon has 86 protons (atomic number 86).
How do asbestos and radon differ?
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that has had many commercial uses during the last century, so it can be found in many building materials and other objects. Excessive exposure through inhalation can result in asbestosis, lung cancer, or mesothelioma (another kind of cancer). Asbestos seems to produce cancer through the physical interaction of its fibrous structure with living cells. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas with no significant commercial application. Excessive exposure through inhalation can result in lung cancer. Radon produces cancer because it emits ionizing radiation which in turn produces cancer upon sufficient exposure.
Why is there increased attention on radon gas?
There is increased attention on radon gas because it is the second leading cause of lung cancer, after smoking. It is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can seep into homes and buildings from the ground. Efforts to raise awareness and take preventive measures, such as testing for radon and mitigating high levels, are being made to reduce the health risks associated with radon exposure.
How many electrons are on Radon's fourth energy level?
32 electrons on the fourth shell of radon.
How many shells does radon have?
Radon is a non metal element. There are 86 electrons in a single atom.
How many confirmed deaths are in Haiti?
At the time of this answer, more than 111,000 confirmed deaths.
How many sick people are in Mexico?
On H1N1 or swine flu? Those would be 82,306 cases with 398 confirmed deaths. Considering that in the United States there were 115,378 cases with 3,433 confirmed deaths, you should be more worried to catch something in the US than in Mexico.

How many protons does an atom of Radon have in its nucleus?
Radon has 86 protons.
Why did so many of the scientists who studied radiation die early deaths?
Because they were exposed to radiation everyday giving them more exposure and higher risk.
