Study of radon exhalation from the soil

Impacts of exposure to air pollution, radon and climate drivers on the COVID-19 pandemic in Bucharest, Romania: A time series study

“…Also, 222 Rn provides accurate information about urban pollution levels near the ground as well as of atmospheric dynamics conditions, being used as a tracer of the lower tropospheric vertical mixing effects better than commonly used meteorology-based stability patterns. On a diurnal scale, the peak of outdoor radon concentration is recorded in the early morning hours ( Mullerova et al, 2018 ) and on seasonal, in winter periods with elevated values under persistent synoptic inversion events, when outdoor radon concentrations may be higher for several days ( Zoran et al, 2015 ).…”

Climate Effects of Aerosols and Radon on Covid-19 Pandemic in Bucharest Metropolitan Area

“…Airborne PM in different size fractions between 1 nm to 100 μm of biogenic or chemical constituents, can be considered potential carriers of viral pathogens including SARS-CoV-2, being diffused and transported over long distances, and adversely affecting the COVID-19 disease incidence and severity [11][12].…”
