  2. Radium and radon in the environment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radium_and_radon_in_the...

    Residues from the oil and gas industry often contain radium and its daughters. The sulfate scale from an oil well can be very radium rich. The water inside an oil field is often very rich in strontium, barium and radium, while seawater is very rich in sulfate: so if water from an oil well is discharged into the sea or mixed with seawater, the radium is likely to be brought out of solution by ...

    A typical radon test kit Fluctuation of ambient air radon concentration over one week, measured in a laboratory. The first step in mitigation is testing. No level of radiation is considered completely safe, but as it cannot be eliminated, governments around the world have set various action levels to provide guidance on when radon concentrations should be reduced.

    Radon concentration at the shores of large oceans is typically 1 Bq/m 3. Radon trace concentration above oceans or in Antarctica can be lower than 0.1 Bq/m 3, [100] with changes in radon levels being used to track foreign pollutants. [101] 10: 0.27 Mean continental concentration in the open air: 10 to 30 Bq/m 3.

    Radon is responsible for the majority of public exposure to ionizing radiation. It is often the single largest contributor to an individual's background radiation dose, and is the most variable from location to location. Radon gas from natural sources can accumulate in buildings, especially in confined areas such as attics and basements.

  7. Radon measure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radon_measure

    A real-valued Radon measure is defined to be any continuous linear form on K (X); they are precisely the differences of two Radon measures. This gives an identification of real-valued Radon measures with the dual space of the locally convex space K (X). These real-valued Radon measures need not be signed measures.
