Exposure to indoor radon at home and in workplaces constitutes a serious public health risk and is the second most prevalent cause of lung cancer after tobacco smoking. Indoor radon concentration is to a large extent controlled by so-called geogenic …
The first version of the Pan-European Indoor Radon Map is presented in this article.
A rapid method for local-scale radon risk assessment using in situ radon soil-gas measurements and a national-scale soil permeability data set have been evaluated
The applicability of radon (222Rn) measurements to delineate non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPL) contamination in subsoil is discussed at a site with lithological discontinuities through a blind test. Three alpha spectroscopy monitors were used to …
A map indicating where the highest radon-related lung cancer incidence is expected in Ireland.
We present a new high spatial resolution radon risk map of Ireland.
The project has investigated the use of Tellus radiometric data in the construction of an all-Ireland Radon Potential Map. Equivalent uranium (eU) from Tellus radiometric data were used to predict soil gas radon concentrations.
A new high spatial resolution radon risk map of Ireland has been developed in this project, based on a combination of the indoor radon measurements collated by the Environmental Protection Agency of Ireland (n=31,910) and relevant geological information (i.
