Extensive measurements of (222)Rn in the town of Xanthi in N Greece show that the part of the town overlying granite deposits and the outcrop of a uranium ore has exceptionally high indoor radon levels, with monthly means up to 1500 Bq m(-3). A large number of houses (40%) in this part of the town exhibit radon levels above 200 Bq m(-3) while 11% of the houses had radon levels above 400 Bq m(-3...
BACKGROUND Radon, a naturally occurring radioactive gas, is a carcinogen that causes a small proportion of lung cancers among exposed populations. Theoretical models suggest that radon may also be a risk factor for skin cancer, but epidemiologic evidence for this relationship is weak. In this study, we investigated ecologic associations between environmental radon concentration and the incidenc...
Radon (RN-222), naturally released from underground, is the second leading cause of lung cancer for at-risk groups after smoking, and the leading cause of lung cancer. This research aims to investigate the relationship between housing characteristics and indoor radon levels. Indoor radon data (1993 – 2013) were obtained from the DeKalb County Board of Health alongside housing characteristics so...
background: radon, thoron and their progenies are the most important contributions to human exposure from natural sources. radon exists in soil gas, building materials, indoor atmosphere etc. among all the natural sources of radiation dose to human beings, inhalation of radon contributes a lot. the work presented here emphasizes the long term measurements of radon, thoron and their progeny conc...
Xenon and radon have many similar properties, a difference being that all 35 isotopes of radon ((195)Rn-(229)Rn) are radioactive. Radon is a pervasive indoor air pollutant believed to cause significant incidence of lung cancer in many geographic regions, yet radon affinity for a discrete molecular species has never been determined. By comparison, the chemistry of xenon has been widely studied a...
Due to the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) accident, the evacuees from Namie Town still cannot reside in the town, and some continue to live in temporary housing units. In this study, the radon activity concentrations were measured at temporary housing facilities, apartments and detached houses in Fukushima Prefecture in order to estimate the annual internal exposure dose of resid...
Introduction In this study, effective dose equivalent for the public due to internal exposure to 222radon (222Rn) was evaluated in three regions of Ramsar, a northern coastal city in Iran. Materials and Methods Measurements were carried out using a radon monitoring device. Outdoor and indoor radon concentrations were measured within 24 hours with an integration in...
