Radon and thoron exhalation rate, emanation factor and radioactivity risks of building materials of the Iberian Peninsula [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Radon (222Rn) and thoron (220Rn) are radioactive gases emanating from geological materials. Inhalation of these gases is closely related to an increase in the probability of lung cancer if the levels are high.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 11, November 2026.Abstract Open bedrock fractures are common features in unstable rock slopes and alter subsurface thermal conditions of fractured rock masses through convective air ventilation and atmospheric exchange. These processes are particularly relevant in cold mountain environments, where variations in ground temperature affect rock mass stability and may allow

RADON EXHALATION FROM GRANITIC ROCKS
Brazilian Journal of Radiation Sciences, 2019 Naturally occurring radionuclides such as radon (222Rn), its decay products and other elements from the radioactive series of uranium (238U and 235U) and thorium (232Th) are an important source of human exposure to natural radioactivity. The worldwide evaluation of health radiobiological effects and risks from population exposure to natural ...

Greater Mouse‐Tailed Bats Glide During Approximately 50% of Their Flight
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1564, Issue 1, October 2026.ABSTRACT Flapping flight is widely regarded as a mechanically complex and energetically demanding mode of locomotion. In bats, the evolution of flapping flight is hypothesized to have arisen from gliding, an unpowered form of aerial movement. Although intermittent flap‐gliding flight is considered advantageous in many bird species, this flight strategy
