Background: This paper presents a novel approach to predict and map radon and thoron levels. We developed separate radon and thoron prediction maps for Ireland and introduced a system for producing high-resolution 3D ...

The interaction of incident laser radiation and sample substrate is complex and difficult to predict. Natural zircons are often both structurally and chemically heterogeneous in 3-dimensional space. Encountering growth-related, ...

A detailed investigation of geogenic radon potential (GRP) was carried out near Graiguenamanagh town (County Kilkenny, Ireland) by performing a spatial regression analysis on radon-related variables to evaluate the exposure ...

The transition to a green economy requires a workforce equipped with green skills to meet the demands of sustainable development and environmental stewardship. This study investigates the alignment between university ...

Many countries are developing a radon action plan to provide decision-makers with a reliable tool for reducing the harmful effects of radon exposure in dwellings and among the general public and, accordingly, to implement ...

At over 56% of the annual effective dose, radon is the primary source of ionizing radiation exposure received by the Irish population. Although the average indoor radon concentration in Ireland has been reduced since ...

A multi-proxy provenance study of Late Carboniferous to Middle Jurassic sandstones from the eastern Sverdrup Basin was undertaken employing optical petrography and heavy mineral analysis, chemical analysis of apatite, ...

Background: Indoor radon represents an important health issue to the general population. Therefore, accurate radon risk maps help public authorities to prioritise areas where mitigation actions should be implemented. As ...

A rapid method for local-scale radon risk assessment using in situ radon soil-gas measurements and a national-scale soil permeability data set have been evaluated. We test and validate our approach in a case study on the ...
