This review study examines the relationship between radon and geology, including its
origins, transmission, and accumulation, as well as its impact on human health and …

A worldwide review of radon exposure in non-uranium mines was conducted. Based on the
reported radon measurements in a total of 474 underground non-uranium mines, the …

Underground miners are internally exposed to radon, thoron and their short-lived decay
products during the mineral processing. There is also an external exposure due to the …

Mineral processing releases long and short half-life radionuclides generating potential
exposure to miners. They are internally exposed to radon, thoron and their short-life decay …

Radon equilibrium factor F eq is an important factor in radon progeny dose assessment. A
review of published measurements of F eq shows a range of values from 0.1 to 1.0 reported …

The regulation of radon concentration at workplaces has gained an accentuated importance
in all countries. Nevertheless, at this time there is no globally accepted workplace protocol …

Abstract The Middle East region has reported some endemic diseases which are more
prominent than in other parts of the world and in some cases have been seen only in this …

Radon has been recognized to be one of the major contributors to the natural radiation
causing even lung cancer if it is present at enhanced levels. Its monitoring at highly confined …

Radon and its progeny are prevalent everywhere on the lithosphere especially in the mining
environment. Coal exists in the Salt Range that passes through Pakistan. The aim of the …

Rock, soil and water contain 238U, 232Th and their decay products. The distribution of these
radionuclides differs in terms of activity concentration depending on the mineral type and …
