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 …

Prolonged inhalation of indoor radon and its progenies lead to severe health problems for
housing occupants; therefore, housing developments in radon-prone areas are of great …

Mapped geological units can be regarded as proxies standing for a complex series of
subsoil geochemical and physical properties including the assigned radon activity …

Beyond tobacco smoking, radon takes its place as the second most significant contributor to
lung cancer, excluding hereditary and other biologically related factors. Radon and its …

Abstract Characterization of spatial variation of heavy metals in urban soils is essential to
identify pollution sources and potential risks to humans and the environment. While heavy …

Radon (222 Rn) gas is produced in the radioactive decay chain of uranium (238 U) which is
an element that is naturally present in soils. Radon is transported mainly by diffusion and …

Understanding spatial variation of potentially toxic trace elements (PTEs) in soil is necessary
to identify the proper measures for preventing soil contamination at both operating and …

Geostatistical technique was used to predicted spatial reduction of metal contamination after
applying EDTA-based soil remediation. Soil samples from 268 locations in the Meza Valley …

Radon is a natural gas known to be the main contributor to natural background radiation
exposure and second to smoking, a major leading cause of lung cancer. The main source of …

Spatial distribution of concentrations of radon gas in the soil is important for defining high
risk areas because geogenic radon is the major potential source of indoor radon …
