The method for recalibration of thoron concentration reading of RAD7 and obtaining the thoron exhalation rate from soil surface [PDF]
Nuclear Technology and Radiation Protection, 2013 Thoron exhalation rate can be obtained through the combination of the “accumulation chamber” technique and RAD7. Thoron’s rapid decay causes the intake path and the air flow rate to become important factors in calibration.

Effect on Radon Exhalation Rate Due to Cracks in Concrete
Nordic Concrete Research, 2019 The second largest cause of lung cancer in the World is related to radon (222Rn) and its progenies in our environment. Building materials, such as concrete, contribute to the production of radon gas through the natural decay of 238U from its constituents.
