Radon in Indoor Spaces
Results: Exposure to indoor radon and its decay products is a major contributor to the radiation exposure of the general population. In Germany, the mean radiation exposure due to radon in living rooms and bedrooms is about 49 Bq/m. It is well documented in the scientific liter ature that indoor radon significantly increases the risk of lung cancer, probably in a linear dose-response relationsh...

متن کاملIndoor radon entry: 30 years later
The paper discusses the results of 30 years of radon indoor entry research. While some progress has been made, many discrepancies between current theories and experimental data still remain. Misconceptions of radon transport mechanisms in homes are analyzed. The role of US Environmental Protection Agency in radon indoor entry research is examined and the agency's policies are criticize...
متن کاملIndoor Radon Measurements in Argentina
Rn is the most important source of natural radiation and is responsible for approximately half of the received dose of the totality of the sources. Most of this dose comes from the inhalation of the progeny of Rn, and this happens especially in closed atmospheres. Due to this, the control of the levels of Rn concentration in the different geographic areas is important where human activities are...
متن کاملIndoor radon in Tunisian spas
Indoor radon concentrations were measured in four well-known spas of Tunisia using nuclear track detectors. The radon concentrations in these spas were found to be in the range of 19 − 870 Bq.m-3. The equilibrium factor F between radon and its progeny was found to vary in the range of 0.2 0.5, depending upon the ventilation rates within the buildings of the spas. Using the exposure-dose convers...
