Indoor dose conversion coefficients for radon progeny for different ambient environments

Article Abstract:

The following study examines common ambient aerosols, including marine, urban and traffic influenced aerosols. Because studies show that indoor aerosols are derived primarily from outdoor sources, it is important to examine the effects of different ambient environments on indoor radon dose. Inhaled progeny of (super 222) RN (radon progeny) is the biggest source of irradiation of the human respiratory tract, and studies of underground miners of uranium and other minerals have given estimates of lung cancer risk from exposure to radon progeny.

Present Century Record of Organolead Pollution in High Altitude Alpine Snow

Article Abstract:

Researchers gathered ice and snow cores from Mont Blanc between 1956 and 1994 to show that with the reduction in use of leaded gasoline, airborne lead pollution in high altitude locations has significantly declined. Charts and tables accompany the article.
