Real-time indoor radon exposure in the city of Zacatecas, Mexico [PDF]

Geofísica Internacional, 2002
222Rn and its daughter elements are considered dangerous for health. Exposure was measured to find the radon reference levels in Zacatecas. Indoor levels were measured since June 2000 until June 2001. RM-60 and RM-70 Geiger Muller-based systems were used

Carcinogenic and Cocarcinogenic Effects of Radon and Radon Daughters in Rats.

Environmental Health Perspectives, 1994
It has been previously established that lung cancer could be induced in rats by exposure to radon and radon daughters. Although the oat-cell carcinomas that are common in humans were not found in rats, other histological types of lung carcinomas ...

Hypoxia and hypercapnia elicit overlapping but distinct skeletal muscle toxicities

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Hypoxia and hypercapnia cause overlapping skeletal muscle phenotypes, including atrophy, change in myofibre metabolic profile and myogenic response to injury. Both signals operate via distinct cellular pathways. Abstract Skeletal muscle dysfunction is strongly associated with elevated mortality in acute and chronic pulmonary ...

Development of a moored radium in situ sampler to measure annual time series

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 24, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Radium is a useful tracer of sediment‐derived materials, improving our understanding of the geochemical cycling of elements at ocean boundaries. We have developed an autonomous in situ sampler to collect time series samples of radium isotopes on mooring deployments.

Assessment of Indoor Radon Exposure Risks in Relation to Dwelling Types in Gold‐Mining Communities of Akyempim, Wassa East District, Ghana

Indoor Air, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This study investigated the effects of dwelling type, wall and floor coverings, radium‐226 concentration, soil moisture, and radon exhalation on indoor radon‐222 levels in the gold‐mining community of Akyempim, Ghana. Indoor radon was monitored using CR‐39 solid‐state nuclear track detectors deployed in 144 rooms across 21 sites for 90 days ...
