Probability of Causation for Lung Cancer After Exposure to Radon Progeny: A Comparison of Models and Data [PDF]

, 1994
The estimates of lung cancer risk due to the exposure to radon decay products are based on different data sets from underground mining and on different mathematical models that are used to fit the data.

kjjThe Response of Radon Diffusion Chamber Using a New Calibration Method and its Results in an International Intercomparison [PDF]

مجله علوم و فنون هسته‌ای, 2013
The measurements of radon as a radioactive gas, when inhaled creates lung cancer risk in human, are of great importance for researchers. In this research, the response of a passive radon detector is determined based upon a new calibration method.

The Impact of Anti‐Black Racism on Black Undergraduate Nursing Students in Canada

Nursing Inquiry, Volume 33, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The graduation rate of Black undergraduate students in nursing programs remains lower than that of their peers despite a notable increase in enrollment. Without disaggregated data, anecdotal and emerging evidence suggests student attrition rates are associated with unreasonable demands and unmet learning needs.

Non-linear relationship of cell hit and transformation probabilities in a low dose of inhaled radon progenies

, 2009
Cellular hit probabilities of alpha particles emitted by inhaled radon progenies in sensitive bronchial epithelial cell nuclei were simulated at low exposure levels to obtain useful data for the rejection or support of the linear-non-threshold (LNT ...

Evaluation of commercial facemasks to reduce the radioactive dose of radon daughters

Journal of Industrial Textiles
Commercial facemasks have become a common tool during the COVID-19 pandemic. They are cheap, simple to use and some are capable of filtering out most particles in the air, protecting the user.

Study on the inhibition of radon and its daughters under low background conditions

四川大学学报. 自然科学版, 2020
The detection of rare cases requires a very low background, and radon and its daughters are one of the main background sources. In this paper, a set of liquid nitrogen radon removal system was designed according to the demand for radon removal of 1 725 ...
