GeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract Medical geology (MG) examines the interactions between geological materials, environmental processes, and human health, with particular importance in disaster‐prone regions, where rapid geological changes can abruptly intensify geogenic exposures and necessitate immediate public health responses. Geological events such as earthquakes, volcanic

Indoor radon levels in Greek schools
Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, 2011 Radon and gamma dose rate measurements were performed in 512 schools in 8 of the 13 regions of Greece. The distribution of radon concentration was well described by a lognormal distribution. Most (86%) of the radon concentrations were between 60 and 250 Bq m(-3) with a most probable value of 135 Bq m(-3). The arithmetic and geometric means of the radon

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.
