Assessment of radon concentrations in selected Tanzanian thermal waters and associated radiological risks to users: implications for environmental radiation protection

Radon in Drinking Water from Laterite-Dominated Terrains of Yewa, Southwestern Nigeria: An Assessment of Radiological Health Risk

Radon-222 (²²²Rn) is a naturally occurring radionuclide and a major contributor to radiation exposure via groundwater. Yewa South Local Government Area (LGA), Ogun State, Nigeria, has extensive lateritic weathering that may influence radionuclide occurrence, yet its groundwater radon levels remain insufficiently charac...

Health risk assessment of radon concentrations and water quality parameters in drinking well water of Erbil villages.

The radon activity concentrations in 25 drinking well water samples and the physicochemical parameter of water quality have been assessed. Samples were collected from 25 different communities in Erbil region, Iraq in April 2026. Measurements were conducted using a RAD7-H2O detector. The measured radon concentrations ra...

Determination of Radon-222 Concentration in Soil Samples from VI, Shaffa and Garta Sama Communities of Michika Local Government Area, Adamawa State, Nigeria

Radon-222 and its progeny contributed greatly to natural background radiation. Long time exposure to radiation increases the high probability of cancer to persons, radiological hazard associated with inhalation of radon-22 gas from 25 soil samples were collected and analysed for radon usig RAD7 electronic detector. The...

Assessment of Radon Levels In Bottled Drinking Waters From Natural Sources In Elaziğ, Türkiye

Radon is a radioactive gas that constitutes an important component of natural radiation sources and may pose a risk to human health, particularly when present in drinking water. The present study aimed to determine 222Rn concentrations in commercially available bottled water samples and to evaluate the associated radio...

Indoor Radon Concentrations and Associated Radiological Risk in Selected Buildings at SouthEastern Kenya University, Kenya

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas and a major contributor to natural radiation exposure, with prolonged inhalation associated with an increased risk of lung cancer. This study evaluated indoor radon concentrations and associated radiological risks in selected buildings at South-Eastern Kenya University (SE...
