“…The process of radioactive decay inside the lung damages the tissue and may ultimately cause lung cancer [6][7][8]. For these reasons, the dose deriving from the exposure to 222 Rn in indoor air and public workplaces has been extensively studied all over the world [9][10][11][12][13][14].…”

“…Especially, local radiation which is much higher than natural background radon radiation (1.2 mSv/a) has been found in Yangjiang (China), Guarapari (Brazil), Kerala (India), and Lamsal (Iran) [2][3][4]. Radon concentration in the open atmosphere generally ranges from a few Bq/m 3 to more than a dozen Bq/m 3 [5,6], while in indoors and basements can reach thousands of Bq/m 3 [7]. Radon concentrations can reach hundreds of thousands of Bq/m 3 in some cave environments [8,9].…”

“…222 Rn as a noble gas escapes from all the chemical bounds and diffuses in the atmosphere. Then, after some subsequent decays (three alpha and two beta decays) the long-living nuclide Pb-210 is formed (Ioannidou et al, 2005;Krmar et al, 2013;2014;Wattanavatee et al, 2017;Stoulos and Ioannidou, 2020). Lead-210 is chemically more active than the noble radon gas and has a 22.6 years' half-life.…”
