PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a radon restraining type dust radiation monitoring function capable of accurately restraining radon influence during sampling or during damping after sampling. SOLUTION: A radiation detecting part 1 detects α-rays and β-rays from radioactive material contained in ...
For low-LET radiation, I think the scientific evidence weighs against LNT. If public health agencies don’t take LNT seriously for this type of radiation it’s possible that they acknowledge this. For high-LET radiation, such as alpha particles from radon decay products, there’s more a prio...
Therefore, for rough half of their cases, the authors acknowledge that the observed lung cancer could have been due to something completely unrelated to radiation exposure in the mines. Their uncertainty extended even to their controls wherein, the authors expressed concern about the validity of the...
Radon (222Rn) and thoron (220Rn) were reported as the highest contributors to natural radiation received by humans. Furthermore, radon has been stated as the second-highest cause of lung cancer. The concentrations of238U and232Th (the parent nuclide of radon and thoron, respectively) in natur...
Radon Services of Kansas is a locally owned company that provides radon awareness, radon testing and radon mitigation in Wichita, Kansas, and beyond.
We live in an area with cancer-causing levels of radiation. Radon is created during the natural radioactive breakdown of uranium in the rocks, soil, and water. Radon is highly toxic and it is estimated that 21,000 people die every year from lung cancer because they have been exposed...

The Border Patrol often catches truck loads of marijuana because it is loaded with radiation producing potassium), all glass made using silica (even eye glasses, wine glasses, mirrors, windows, etc.), and granite too. The key word is “measurable”. As an illustration, compare the radon ...
