Radon is classified as a Class 1 carcinogen, being the leading cause of lung cancer in non-
smokers. Understanding the prominent sources of radon helps to mitigate against the …

Radon and its progenies found in water indicate the existence of seismically active faults in
the region. However, exposure to high levels of radon can also result in radiation-related …

Radon in drinking water poses radiation-related health risks. Investigating water-related
health problems is indispensable, so the goal of the study was to determine how much …

As a potential precursor of earthquakes, this study aims to investigate temporal variations of
radon (222Rn) concentration levels in air near the ground by the use of solid-state nuclear …
