Geologic, seasonal, and atmospheric predictors of indoor home radon values
Environmental Research: Health, 2023 Exposure to tobacco smoke and radon cause lung cancer. Radioactive decay of naturally occurring uranium in bedrock produces radon. Seasonality, bedrock type, age of home, and topography have been associated with indoor radon, but the research is mixed ...

Toxics, 2023 Radon is a carcinogenic factor, but the effects of the potential carcinogenicity of radon progeny on the human body during the prenatal period have not yet been explored. Based on data regarding the half-lives of radon-222 and radon-220 and their progeny, this paper considers their potential effects on the human body in the prenatal period.

Nanoaerosols Including Radon Decay Products in Outdoor and Indoor Air at a Suburban Site
Journal of Toxicology, 2012 Nanoaerosols have been monitored inside a kitchen and in the courtyard of a suburban farmhouse. Total number concentration and number size distribution (5–1000 nm) of general aerosol particles, as measured with a Grimm Aerosol SMPS+C 5.400 instrument ...

Contribution of Radon and Radon Daughters to Respiratory Cancer [PDF]
Environmental Health Perspectives, 1986 This article reviews studies on the contribution of radon and radon daughters to respiratory cancer and proposes recommendations for further research, particularly a national radon survey. The steady-state outdoor radon concentration averages 200 pCi/m3, and indoor levels are about 4 times higher.

Mutagenicity of radon and radon daughters [PDF]
, 1991 The objective of our research is to investigate the dose-response relationship of the lethal and mutagenic effects of exposure of cells to radon and its decay products. Dose rate dependence and the nature of the DNA lesion will be studied, using the thymidine kinase and HPRT loci to measure mutation frequency.

Evaluating the involvement of autolysosomes in the nuclear translocation of fluorescent proteins
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Endogenously expressed fluorescent proteins can be degraded by autophagy and transported to cell nuclei via the nuclear pore complex. But in some cell lines, for example, HeLa cells which are positive for immunoreactivity of a receptor ligand, such as UCN I, in cell nuclei, fusion of autolysosome with the nuclear envelope is involved in the nuclear ...
