Indoor radon survey in Shiraz-Iran using developed passive measurement method
Background: While in the open air the amount of radon gas is very small and does not pose a health risk, in confined spaces, radon can accumulate to relatively high levels and become a health hazard. Exposure to high levels of radon has been associated with an increased risk of lung cancer, depending on the time length of exposure. Radon level in dwelling of Shiraz with 1,200,000 popul...
متن کاملResults from the First Annual Aarst Radon Measurement Intercomparison Exercise
The First Annual AARST Radon Measurement Intercomparison Exercise was conducted at the radon calibration laboratory at Bowser-Momer, Inc. in November and December, 1997. There were thirty-two participants involved in the exercise, including Bowser-Momer. For grab radon measurements, the Environmental Measurements Laboratory (EML) sent samplers to be filled in the Bowser-Morner chamber simultane...
متن کاملIntercomparison of retrospective radon detectors.
We performed both a laboratory and a field intercomparison of two novel glass-based retrospective radon detectors previously used in major radon case-control studies performed in Missouri and Iowa. The new detectors estimate retrospective residential radon exposure from the accumulation of a long-lived radon decay product, (210)Pb, in glass. The detectors use track registration material in dire...

متن کاملLaboratory Intercomparison of Radon-in-water Standards
The standardization of instruments used for radon-in-water measurements typically involves handling and disposal of Ra in solution. To avoid contact with the Class A carcinogen, radium-free solutions were prepared and tested for use as radon-in-water standards. Filters containing known amounts of Ra were sealed in polyethylene and placed in vials filled with distilled water for >30 days to allo...
