Effectiveness of Radon Control Techniques in Fifteen Homes

The cost effectiveness of radon remediation programmes in hospitals, schools and homes in radon affected areas in the UK.

This analysis was carried out, first for Health Service properties in Northamptonshire, and then for schools and domestic properties. Comparison of the three programmes showed that the programme in schools was the most cost effective, but that a completed programme in domestic properties would be almost as effective. However, in the UK, only 10 % of those who discover raised radon levels have s...

The Significance of Measurement of Radon-22o(thoron) in Homes

Radon-222 (also known as radon) is a relatively long-lived isotope of radon and originates from uranium present in the earth's crust. Radon-220 (also known as thoron) is a short-lived isotope of radon and originates from thorium present in the earth's crust. Fundamental properties and health hazards of these gases are compared. On the average, the thoron contribution to the total dose to the lu...

Distribution of airborne radon-222 concentrations in U.S. homes.

Apparently large exposures of the general public to the radioactive decay products of radon-222 present in indoor air have led to systematical appraisal of monitoring data from U.S. single-family homes; several ways of aggregating data were used that take into account differences in sample selection and season of measurements. The resulting distribution of annual-average radon-222 concentration...
