Time activity modeling of domestic exposures to radon

Article Abstract:

Data derived from time activity surveys in Northamptonshire along with radon data from a representative home are presented to model potential exposures for different population sub-groups. The householders have to be actively targeted for radon monitoring and given special support in remediation, if the public health risks from exposures to radon are to be reduced cost effectively.

The setting of standards for agricultural nitrogen emissions: a case study of the Delphi technique

Article Abstract:

The Delphi technique is a way of aggregating the judgement of a panel of experts in order to improve the quality of decision-making. A case study of the technique by undertaking a three-round Delphi study to determine a package of best available techniques to reduce nitrogen emissions from a poultry unit, are discussed.
