Outdoor Radon as a Tool to Estimate Radon Priority Areas—A Literature Overview
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health"
DOI: 10.3390/ijerph19020662
Abstract: Doses from the exposure to outdoor radon are typically an order of magnitude smaller than those from indoor radon, causing a greater interest on investigation of the latter for radiation protection issues. As a consequence,… read more here.
