Radon, a common radioactive indoor air pollutant, is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. Knowledge about its distribution is essential for risk assessment …
Radon decay products attach to particulate matter (referred to as particle radioactivity, PR) has been shown to be potential to promote airway damage after inhalation. In this study, we …
Particle radioactivity (PR) exposure has been linked to adverse health effects. PR refers to the presence of α-and β-emitting radioisotopes attached to fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) …
Abstract Background Radon (222 Rn) decay products can attach to particles in the air, be inhaled, and potentially cause airway damage. Research question Is short-term exposure to …
In 1987, the United States Environmental Protection Agency recommended installing a mitigation system when the indoor concentration of radon, a well-known carcinogenic …
Particulate radioactivity, a characteristic of particulate matter, is primarily determined by the abundance of radionuclides that are bound to airborne particulates. Exposure to high levels …
