Initially, basic equations are given to express the activity concentrations and concentrations
of potential α-energies of radon (222Rn) and thoron (220Tn) and their short-lived products in …

Inhaling radon and its progeny is associated with adverse health outcomes. However,
previous studies of the health effects of residential exposure to radon in the United States …

OBJECTIVE: Radon (Rn-222) is a noble gas formed in the uranium path (U-238) as a decay
product of radium (Ra-226). It is estimated to cause between 3% to 14% of all lung cancers …

Radon exposure is significantly associated with lung cancer. Radon concentration is
currently reduced mainly by physical methods, but there is a lack of protective drugs or …

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that causes lung cancer. It has been
measured extensively in homes and mines but research in other workplaces has been …

Most people spend the majority of their time in indoor environments where the level of
harmful pollutants is often significantly higher than outdoors. Radon (222Rn) and its decay …

Despite the considerable amount of work in the field of indoor thoron exposure, little studies
have focussed on mitigation strategies to reduce exposure to thoron and its progeny. For this …

O radônio é um gás radioativo de ocorrência natural, insípido, inodoro e incolor a
temperatura ambiente, pode se difundir no ambiente através do solo, águas minerais …

The study reports measurements of radon and its decay products and of perceived air
quality carried out in an occupied and unoccupied auditorium at the Lublin University of …

Radon, a noble radioactive gas, can reach levels that pose a risk to public health in poorly
ventilated environments such as residences and buildings. It is a known carcinogenic agent …
