Exposure to radon and radon progeny in the indoor environment [PDF]

, 1991
The objective of this work is to measure experimentally the activity-weighted particle size distribution in conjunction with other relevant house parameters in occupied houses in order to improve the estimate of exposure to radon and radon progeny indoors.

Utilization of radiometric data for mapping primary and secondary sources of gamma radiation and radon/thoron release potentials in Ireland

Frontiers in Public Health
BackgroundThis paper presents a novel approach to predict and map radon and thoron levels. We developed separate radon and thoron prediction maps for Ireland and introduced a system for producing high-resolution 3D radiation maps which may be used for ...

Indoor radon measurements in the city of Valencia

Applied Radiation and Isotopes, 2011
The indoor radon risk in Valencia (Spain) was studied more than twenty years ago in two surveys using different methodologies and leading to contradictory results. We report here on new indoor radon measurements with the charcoal canister technique, which confirm the low average level of indoor radon in the city, with a geometrical mean of 24 Bq/m(3 ...

Indoor radon: An overview on a perennial problem [PDF]

Building and Environment, 2012
Abstract According to the World Health Organization (WHO) radon constitutes the second cause of lung cancer in the general population, the first being smoking. In addition health investigations also show that children are more susceptible than adults to ionizing radiation.

Influence of gamma radiation of indoor radon decay products on absorbed dose rate

Journal of Environmental Engineering and Landscape Management, 2005
A survey of absorbed dose rate and indoor radon concentration in multistorey houses was carried out. The main source of radon in such houses is construction materials.

Assessing the Effect of Insulation Materials Used for Energy Conservation in Buildings on Indoor Radon—The Scale Model Room Approach

Applied Sciences
This study investigates how external insulation materials used for energy efficiency affect indoor radon accumulation, using a scale model room built with ignimbrite, a highly radon-emitting volcanic rock. Two insulation materials—mineral wool (open-cell,

Influence of Meteorological Parameters on Indoor Radon Concentration Levels in the Aksu School

Atmosphere
The radon concentration activity in buildings is influenced by various factors, including meteorological elements like temperature, pressure, and precipitation, which are recognized as significant influencers. The fluctuations of indoor radon in premises
