Background Radon is the primary source of environmental radiation exposure posing a
significant human health risk in cold countries. In Canada, most provinces have revised …

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas found in rocks, soil, and building materials.
Precisely because of its gaseous nature, it tends to concentrate in indoor environments …

Photochemistry is a largely unconsidered potential source of reactive species such as
hydroxyl and peroxy radicals (OH and HO2,“HO x”) indoors. We present measured …

Extensive research on the dynamics of radon gas (Rn-222) originating from the radioactive
decay of radium (Ra-226) in geological subsurface media, sheds light on its periodic release …

The presence of radon in buildings is a matter of growing concern in the industry. A further
layer of complexity is present in heritage buildings, where sources of exhalation other than …

Groundwater radon level and soil radionuclide concentration have been measured in the
volcanic region of La Garrotxa (Catalonia, Spain) to further research on the origin and …

Radon levels in the soil and groundwater in the North Maladeta Fault area (located in the
Aran Valley sector, Central Pyrenees) are analysed from both geological and radiation …

A model is developed for calculation of the radon concentration in indoor air. The model
takes into account various important parameters, eg radon concentration in ground, radon …

Using a methodology derived from Economics, the Lorenz Curve and Gini Coefficient are
introduced as tools for investigating and quantifying seasonal variability in environmental …

Long-term continuous in-situ radon field monitoring was carried out in the southern region of
Israel, at the Amram Mountain research tunnel in Elat and in shallow boreholes in the …
