Health Risks of Radon and Other Internally Deposited Alpha-Emitters
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309037891
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 623
Book Description
This book describes hazards from radon progeny and other alpha-emitters that humans may inhale or ingest from their environment. In their analysis, the authors summarize in one document clinical and epidemiological evidence, the results of animal studies, research on alpha-particle damage at the cellular level, metabolic pathways for internal alpha-emitters, dosimetry and microdosimetry of radionuclides deposited in specific tissues, and the chemical toxicity of some low-specific-activity alpha-emitters. Techniques for estimating the risks to humans posed by radon and other internally deposited alpha-emitters are offered, along with a discussion of formulas, models, methods, and the level of uncertainty inherent in the risk estimates.

WHO Handbook on Indoor Radon
Author: World Health Organization
Publisher: World Health Organization
ISBN: 9241547677
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 111
Book Description
This handbook focuses on residential radon exposure from a public health point of view and provides detailed recommendations on reducing health risks from radon and sound policy options for preventing and mitigating radon exposure. The material in the handbook reflects the epidemiological evidence that indoor radon exposure is responsible for a substantial number of lung cancers in the general population. Information is provided on the selection of devices to measure radon levels and on procedures for the reliable measurement of these levels. Discussed also are control options for radon in new dwellings, radon reduction in existing dwellings as well as assessment of the costs and benefits of different radon prevention and remedial actions. Also covered are radon risk communication strategies and organization of national radon programs.--Publisher's description.

Seminar on Radon Risks

Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 104
Book Description
A seminar on radon risks had the following objectives: to review Canadian research relating to the risks of radon daughter inhalation; to communicate Canadian data relevant to radon daughter exposure limits; to assess importance of recent research in this area; and to review existing technology for making radon daughter measurements, the most appropriate parameters to evaluate, and the facilities available in Canada for standardization and intercomparisons of radon-related measurements. This document presents the proceedings of the seminar, including presentations on such subjects as occupational exposures to radon daughters, residential radon and lung cancer in Winnipeg, risk estimates for inhalation of short-lived radon progeny, radon daughter risks in uranium mining, the national radon/thoron test facility, and regulatory implications of International Commission on Radiological Protection recommendations regarding radon progeny.
