Continuous radon monitoring during seven years of volcanic unrest at Campi Flegrei caldera (Italy)

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2020
This is a seven-year study (1/7/2011-31/12/2017) of radon monitoring at two sites of Campi Flegrei caldera (Neaples, Southern Italy) that in the last 70 years experienced repeated phases of volcanic unrest.

Intrinsic backgrounds from Rn and Kr in the XENON100 experiment

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2018
In this paper, we describe the XENON100 data analyses used to assess the target-intrinsic background sources radon ( ), thoron ( ) and krypton ( ). We detail the event selections of high-energy alpha particles and decay-specific delayed coincidences.

Comparison of five-minute radon-daughter measurements with long-term radon and radon-daughter concentrations [PDF]

open access: yes, 1983
Five-minute air filter radon daughter measurements were made in 84 buildings in Edgemont, South Dakota, in which annual average radon daughter concentrations have been determined from six 100-hour Radon Progeny Integrating Sampling Unit (RPISU) measurements.

Radon test measurements with Ce-doped yttrium aluminum oxide perovskite scintillator [PDF]

open access: yesGeofísica Internacional, 2002
Scintillation properties of a Ce-doped yttrium aluminium oxide perovskite monocrystal optically coupled to a Hamamatsu H5784 photomultiplier are analyzed with a standard bialkali photocathode for radon and radon daughters gamma-ray spectrometry. Tests in

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

open access: yesJournal 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.

222Radon carcinogenesis: Risk estimation in different working environments

open access: yesJournal of Radiation and Cancer Research, 2021
Background: Occupational exposure to radon in working environments should be considered as chronic because the subjects involved undergo the effect due to the ionizing radiation from the same gas and decay products.

A neoteric technique to validate radon-222 transport modelling from a gold mine tailings dam

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Radiation Sciences
The Gaussian Industrial Source Complex Short Term 3 (ISCST3) model as applied to radon-222 emitted from tailings dams has not been properly validated for radon-222 dispersion modelling.

(Mutagenicity of radon and radon daughters) [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
The current 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 will be studied, as well as the nature of the DNA lesions.

Ultrasmall Au10–12 Nanoclusters: A Novel Platform for 223Ra‐Targeted Tumor α‐Therapy

open access: yesExploration, EarlyView.
Encapsulating 223Ra in Au10‐12 nanoclusters and functionalizing them with RGD peptides enables targeted α‐therapy and immune microenvironment remodeling in non‐osseous tumors like triple‐negative breast cancer. This study establishes a foundational framework for novel 223Ra‐labeled α‐radiopharmaceuticals and shows strong potential for clinical ...
