Risk assessment for indoor exposure to radon daughters.
, 1985 Approaches to and results for the estimation of healths risks from indoor exposure to radon and its daughter products are discussed. Particular weight is given to the derivation of exposure-time-effect relationships using a modified proportional hazard ...

ON THE ACCURACY OF GRAB-SAMPLING METHODS FOR RADON DAUGHTERS
, 2009 [[abstract]]©1992 Oxfordjournals - There are several methods to evaluate the potential alpha energy concentration due to radon daughters. Owing to the short-lived nuclides present in the decay chain of radon and the complexity of environmental parameters,

Model-derived dose rates per unit concentration of radon in air in a generic plant geometry
, 2011 A model for the derivation of dose rates per unit radon concentration in plants was developed in line with the activities of a Task Group of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP), aimed at developing more realistic dosimetry for ...

Energy deposition and radiation quality of radon and radon daughters. Final report
, 1996 This program was aimed at creating a quantitative physical description, at the micrometer and nanometer levels, of the physical interactions of the alpha particles from radon and its daughters with cells at risk in the bronchial epithelium.

Domestic and Personal Determinants of the Contamination of Individuals by Household Radon Daughters
, 1986 Radon daughters were counted by gamma spectroscopy from 180 adult residents of eastern Pennsylvania during the winter of 1983-84. Body radon daughter contamination is an index of relative individual respiratory exposures to radon daughters.

Biological effects of daily inhalation of radon and its short-lived daughters in experimental animals [PDF]
, 1972 From symposium on noble gases; Las Vegas, Nevada, USA (24 Sep 1973). Exposures of rats, mice, and hamsters for 90 hours per week to radon daughters nanging from 2000 to 8500 WL, with and without 18 mu g per liter uranium ore dust, caused marked ...
