Setting the Scene for the , Approach,on of each of the progeny throughout the period of exposure. The most accurate calculations of the dose to the lung use the separate estimates of the concentration of each of the progeny, requiring that the contribution of each to the total exposure be measured separately. An alternative approach is

It is a chemically inert gas, and only a small fraction of that inhaled will be absorbed by the blood and not exhaled. Further, because the half-life of radon is re

Because it is virtually impossible to completely free the indoor environment of radon, the goal of radon mitigation is to . radon in the indoor environment as much as possible. Using currently developed methods, it is possible

Hypnotic Dependence and WithdrawalHuman exposure to radon results from several sources. Those exposures due to technologically enhanced causes such as mining and milling activities will be discussed first and indoor air exposures last.

Secure Virtual Objects Communication,In this chapter, an assessment of the risks of developing lung cancer from exposures to radon will be discussed, and an attempt made to place such risks in perspective by comparisons to the “natural” risk of developing lung cancer and to the risk of developing it from cigarette smoking.
