Radon Exhalation Rate: A Metrological Approach for Radiation Protection. [PDF]
Sensors (Basel)Radon, a radioactive inert gas that comes from the decay of naturally occurring radioactive species, poses a substantial health risk due to its involvement in lung cancer carcinogenesis. This work proposes a metrological approach for determining radon exhalation rates from diverse building materials. This methodology employs an electrostatic collection

Effect on Radon Exhalation Rate Due to Cracks in Concrete [PDF]
Nordic Concrete Research, 2019 The second largest cause of lung cancer in the World is related to radon (222Rn) and its progenies in our environment. Building materials, such as concrete, contribute to the production of radon gas through the natural decay of 238U from its constituents.

Radon and thoron exhalation rate in the soil of Western Haryana, India
Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2022 Abstract This study, reports the exhalation rates of radon and thoron from surface soil collected from 60 rural sites of district Hisar, Haryana, India. The exhalation rates of Rn222 (Radon)& Rn220(Thoron) were measured by portable SMART RnDuo (AQTEK SYSTEMS) using a mass accumulation chamber which is equipped with a scintillation material ...
