2. Radiation monitoring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_monitoring

   Examples are installed "area" radiation monitors, Gamma interlock monitors, personnel exit monitors, and airborne particulate monitors. The area radiation monitor will measure the ambient radiation , usually X-ray , Gamma or neutrons; these are radiations which can have significant radiation levels over a range in excess of tens of metres from ...

3. Airborne particulate radioactivity monitoring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airborne_particulate...

   The particulate radioactive material might be natural, e.g., radon decay products ("progeny", e.g., 212 Pb), or manmade, usually fission or activation products (e.g., 137 Cs), or a combination of both. There are also "gas monitors" which pass the air through a sample chamber volume which is viewed continuously by a radiation detector.

4. Radon - Wikipedia

   Radon is a chemical element; it has symbol Rn and atomic number 86. It is a radioactive noble gas and is colorless and odorless. Of the three naturally occurring ...

5. Radon mitigation - Wikipedia

   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.

7. Dosimetry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dosimetry

   It is estimated that radon is responsible for 10% of lung cancers in the United States. Radon is a radioactive gas generated by the decay of uranium, which is present in varying amounts in the Earth's crust. Certain geographic areas, due to the underlying geology, continually generate radon which permeates its way to the Earth's surface.
