Radon Daughter Plate-out onto Teflon
, 2017 Radiopure materials for detector components in rare event searches may be contaminated after manufacturing with long-lived $^{210}$Pb produced by the decay of atmospheric radon. Charged radon daughters deposited on the surface or implanted in the bulk of

Indoor Air, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.This study investigated the effects of dwelling type, wall and floor coverings, radium‐226 concentration, soil moisture, and radon exhalation on indoor radon‐222 levels in the gold‐mining community of Akyempim, Ghana. Indoor radon was monitored using CR‐39 solid‐state nuclear track detectors deployed in 144 rooms across 21 sites for 90 days ...

Indoor Air, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Backgrounds Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer, accounting for 3%–14% of cases worldwide. Aim To assess global and national trends in tracheal, bronchial, and lung (TBL) cancer attributable to residential radon from 1990 to 2021 and to project trends up to 2046. Methods The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 data were utilized to analyze

Radon concentration in self-bottled mineral spring waters as a possible public health issue [PDF]
, 2019 Since 2013, the Council Directive 2013/51/Euratom has been regulating the content of radioactive substances in water intended for human consumption. However, mineral waters are exempted from this regulation, including self-bottled springs waters, where ...

Estimation of radon potential through measurement of uranium concentrations in granite geology
South African Journal of Science, 2019 The geology of an area can be used as a predictor for radon potential. Granite rock typically contains a high concentration of uranium and subsequent elevated emanation of radon gas.

Ventilation approaches and radon control in Canadian houses
Frontiers in Public HealthIntroductionBalanced mechanical ventilation with heat (sensible heat only) or energy (sensible and latent heat) recovery has the potential to dilute indoor radon and may be an appropriate first step at reducing moderate indoor radon concentration in a ...
