Environmental Geochemistry and Health, 1990
This review concerns primarily the health effects that result from indoor air exposure to radon gas and its progeny. Radon enters homes mainly from the soil through cracks in the foundation and other holes to the geologic deposits beneath these structures.

Indoor radon and well water radon in Virginia and Maryland
Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 1990The domestic use of radioactive water has long been a cause for concern, but only a few studies have examined prolonged exposure to radionuclide concentrations found in natural settings. This paper reports on the indoor radon concentrations from 1,500 homes in northern Virginia and southern Maryland and well water radon from 700 homes in the same area.

Indoor Radon Measurement in Van
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2007In this study, indoor radon concentrations obtained from the radon surveys conducted in the Van. Radon monitoring was performed by applying a passive, time‐integrating measuring technique. For this purpose, CR‐39 nuclear track detectors were installed in dwellings for 2 months. After the monitoring period, detectors were collected. In order to make the

Indoor Radon and Lung Cancer in France
Epidemiology, 2004Several case-control studies have indicated an increased risk of lung cancer linked to indoor radon exposure; others have not supported this hypothesis, partly because of a lack of statistical power. As part of a large European project, a hospital-based case-control study was carried out in 4 areas in France with relatively high radon levels.Radon ...

Indoor radon and childhood leukaemia
Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 2008This paper summarises the epidemiological literature on domestic exposure to radon and risk for childhood leukaemia. The results of 12 ecological studies show a consistent pattern of higher incidence and mortality rates for childhood leukaemia in areas with higher average indoor radon concentrations.

Indoor radon concentrations were measured in 77 schools of the prefecture of Xanthi in northern Greece. The arithmetic mean radon concentration is 231 Bq m(-3) with a range between 45 and 958 Bq m(-3). Thirty five schools have mean radon concentration above 200 Bq m(-3) and nine schools have mean radon concentration above 400 Bq m(-3).

The naturally radioactive but chemically inert gas, radon, is formed from the radioactive decay of radium which is part of the uranium series. Radon gas, which has a half life of 3.8 days, must escape from soil particles through air-filled pores in order to enter the atmosphere following the decay of radium. The concentration of radon in the atmosphere

Soil radon, permeability, and indoor radon prediction
Environmental Geology and Water Sciences, 1992Attempts to predict which geographic areas should be associated with a high percentage of homes with unusually high indoor radon levels have been based on estimates of soil radon and soil permeability for geological units. In northern Virginia and southern Maryland, it appears that predictions of indoor radon based on estimates of homesite soil radon ...

On the Behaviour of Radon Daughters in Indoor Air
Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 1984In the present work the effect of small aerosol particles and the effect of the air cleaning devices on the behaviour of the decay products have been studied. The long term measurements in a one-family house have shown that the behaviour of the decay products is strongly dependent on both the concentration of aerosol particles (i.e.
