Comparison of measured exhaled nitric oxide at varying flow rates [PDF]
Thorax, 2005 Altered levels of exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) have been well documented in a number of conditions, although it is in asthma that this phenomenon has been most extensively investigated.1 Raised FeNO levels in patients with asthma have been correlated not only with other markers of airway inflammation (including induced sputum eosinophil count), but also

Radon-thoron measurements in air and soil from some districts of northern part of India [PDF]
Nuclear Technology and Radiation Protection, 2015 Radon, thoron and their progenies in the indoor environment are considered as one of the health hazards. The alpha emitting nature of these gases made it possible to detect in indoor environment with the help of nuclear track detector techniques.

Investigation of the influence of chamber construction parameters on radon exhalation rate
Nukleonika, 2016 Radon exhalation from ground is a process dependent on the emanation and migration of radon through ambient air. Most studies on radon exhalation from soil were performed regarding the influence of meteorological and soil parameters.

INFLUENCE OF SAMPLING FLOW RATE ON THORON EXHALATION RATE MEASUREMENTS BY THE CIRCULATION METHOD
Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 2022 AbstractResearchers have used various methods to obtain the exhalation rates of radon and thoron from soil and building materials. One of the typical methods for radon exhalation rate is the circulation method using an accumulation container, an external or internal sampling pump and a continuous radon monitor.
