222Rn and 220Rn Levels in Drinking Water, the Related Health Implications, and Influencing Environmental Parameters in the Volcanic Area of Nkongsamba, Cameroon

Applied and Environmental Soil Science, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Radon (222Rn) and thoron (220Rn), both naturally occurring radioactive gases, are significant contributors to radiation exposure, posing risks such as lung and stomach cancer. This study assesses radon and thoron concentrations in drinking water sources within the volcanic region of Nkongsamba, Cameroon.

The method for recalibration of thoron concentration reading of RAD7 and obtaining the thoron exhalation rate from soil surface [PDF]

Nuclear Technology and Radiation Protection, 2013
Thoron exhalation rate can be obtained through the combination of the “accumulation chamber” technique and RAD7. Thoron’s rapid decay causes the intake path and the air flow rate to become important factors in calibration.

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 ...

Inequality in Burden of Tracheal, Bronchial, and Lung Cancer Attributable to Residential Radon Exposure: Global Analysis and Country‐Level Patterns in High Granite/Marble Consuming Countries

Indoor Air, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Backgrounds Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer, accounting for 3%–14% of cases worldwide. Aim To assess global and national trends in tracheal, bronchial, and lung (TBL) cancer attributable to residential radon from 1990 to 2021 and to project trends up to 2046. Methods The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 data were utilized to analyze
