Radon concentration and gamma exposure in some Kosovo underground mines
Background: In this study are submitted the radon concentration measurement results of four underground mines: Stanterg, Artana, Hajvali and Badovc, which are owned by Trepça Enterprise, Kosovo. The mines have the same geological formation and from these mines are extracted ores rich with lead, zinc, silver, and gold. The radiation exposures caused by radon and radon daughters was determ...
متن کاملExposure to atmospheric radon.
We measured radon (222Rn) concentrations in Iowa and Minnesota and found that unusually high annual average radon concentrations occur outdoors in portions of central North America. In some areas, outdoor concentrations exceed the national average indoor radon concentration. The general spatial patterns of outdoor radon and indoor radon are similar to the spatial distribution of radon progeny i...
متن کاملLead exposure and neurodegenerative diseases
Lead (Pb) pollution has been considered as a major threat for human health. Lead may be able to induce inflammatory cascades in various tissues. Allergic asthma and neurodegenerative diseases inflammatory diseases that the association between lead exposure and occurrence of these problems has been proven. The aim of present review is to summarize literature on the effects of lead exposure and o...
متن کاملThe disease intersection of susceptibility and exposure: Chemical exposures and neurodegenerative disease risk
Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and motor neuron disease, the most common of the late-life neurodegenerative disorders, are in most cases thought to have complex etiologies. Common features among these disorders include insidious onset, pathological findings of protein aggregates and selected neuronal degeneration, and resulting characteristic clinical syndromes. The number of elders ...
متن کاملResidential radon-222 exposure and lung cancer: exposure assessment methodology.
Although occupational epidemiological studies and animal experimentation provide strong evidence that radon-222 (222Rn) progeny exposure causes lung cancer, residential epidemiological studies have not confirmed this association. Past residential epidemiological studies have yielded contradictory findings. Exposure misclassification has seriously compromised the ability of these studies to dete...
