New scientific findings based on the latest epidemiological analyses for lung cancer risk due
to radon have been demonstrated. The residential radon concentration is mainly measured …

Radon flux measurements provide information about how much radon rises from the ground
toward the atmosphere, thus, they could serve as good predictors of indoor radon …

MATERIALS AND METHODS Our previous radon-thoron discriminative detector has several
functional problems. 9 An influence of electrostatics had to be considered because the …

in Gansu province, where previously the Laboratory of Industrial Hygiene (LIH), China, and …

Ottawa is the capital city of Canada. In the previous cross Canada radon survey, Ottawa was
not included. There is great interest to know radon level as well as thoron concentration in …

This study examined correlations between radon, thoron and thoron progeny concentrations
based on surveys conducted in several different countries. For this purpose, passive …

Hungarian detectors modified and developed at the National Institute of Radiological
Sciences (NIRS), Japan were placed at different sites, including homes and underground …

Radon has been identified as the second leading cause of lung cancer after tobacco
smoking. 222Rn (radon gas) and 220Rn (thoron gas) are the most common isotopes of …

Terrestrial radionuclides present in soil, bedrock and building materials are considered the
main source of indoor radon (222 Rn) and thoron (220 Rn). Due to its shorter half-life, 220 …
