Radon is a naturally occurring noble radioactive gas that poses significant health risks,
particularly lung cancer, due to its colorless, odorless, and tasteless nature, which makes …

Abstract Radon (222 Rn) and thoron (220 Rn) levels in the environment are typically subject
to significant random and systematic variations. Creation in the laboratory of reproducible …

This work presents a new technique for measurement of activity concentrations of Rn-222 in
water which is based on liquid scintillation counting (LSC) of polycarbonates exposed in the …

An approach for retrospective measurements of thoron (220Rn) and radon (222Rn) by home-
stored CDs/DVDs is proposed. It employs analysis of alpha tracks at two depths beneath the …

Recent modelling suggests that the expense of energy-efficient building reconstructions can
be the enhanced indoor radon levels and the related adverse health impact. Here we show …

Recently, a new concept for retrospective measurements of thoron (220Rn) by CDs/DVDs
has been proposed. It is based on etching and counting alpha tracks at two depths (one at …

The application of the compact disk (CD) method for radon measurements at mines, caves
and other workplaces needs testing under highly variable exposure conditions. We present …

Recently, a method for rather precise retrospective 222Rn measurements, based on home-
stored compact disks (CDs)/DVDs, has demonstrated a promising potential for wide …

Recently, a new radon monitor, based on the combination of plastic radon absorber/radiator
and an alpha-track detector, has been proposed. In this report a theoretical model of its …

The report comprehends one decade experience in the use of the high radon absorption
ability of bisphenol-A based polycarbonates for measuring radon. The three major directions …
