Radon in the indoor environment
Description
A precise retrospective assessment of long-term radon exposures in dwellings is essential for estimating lung-cancer risks. The objectives of this research are (1) to investigate the deposition characteristics of the short-lived radon decay products in the human respiratory tract by means of the bronchial dosemeter, (2) to design a radon reference chamber, (3) to assess retrospectively the radon exposure in dwellings by investigating volume traps, (4) to develop a radon exhalation monitor. The main achievements of the research in this field, performed at the Belgian Nuclear Research Centre SCK-CEN for 1995 are described
