Humans are mostly exposed to ionizing radiation through radon and its decay products. The
results of indoor radon measurements in 39 kindergartens and primary schools in the …

Radon is a major source of ionizing radiation exposure for the general population. It is
known that exposure to radon is a risk factor for the onset of lung cancer. In this study, the …

This work is aimed at presenting an application of Artificial Intelligence techniques in the
Precise Livestock Farming domain. In particular, we focused on the possibility of identifying …

Radon mapping and seasonal radon studies have been carried out within the communities
around the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission (GAEC), using ArcMap geostatistical …

The radon-prone area of the Adamawa region in Cameroon is characterized by high natural
radiation background resulting from the high concentrations of radium-226, thorium-232 …

In confined spaces such as living environments and workplaces, the concentration levels of
radon (Rn 222) can be very high as compared to the external environment. Since Rn has …

Exposure to tobacco smoke and radon cause lung cancer. Radioactive decay of naturally
occurring uranium in bedrock produces radon. Seasonality, bedrock type, age of home, and …

Space missions with humans expose the crews to ionizing radiation, mainly due to the
galactic cosmic radiation (GCR). All radiation protection programs in space aim to minimize …

In this study, the indoor radon concentrations map, starting from a sparse measurements
survey, was realized with the Gini index method. This method was applied on a real dataset …

The radon isotope (222Rn, half-life 3.8 days) is a radioactive byproduct of the 238U decay
chain. Because radon is the second biggest cause of lung cancer after smoking, dense …
