Exposure to radon in buildings in the municipality of Lubango, Angola, during w...
Bahu, Yoenls; Kessongo, Joaquim; Peralta, Luis; Soares, SandraThe evaluation of indoor radon exposure in dwellings is done for the first time in Lubango. The corresponding annual effective dose to which the population is exposed during the wintertime was calculated. A total of 59 single-family houses and 16 public buildings were selected. The results obtained show that in 100% of the houses, the radon concentrations are below 300 Bq m−3. The values of the indoor annual ef...
Radon Concentration Potential in Bibala Municipality Water: Consequences for Pu...
Kessongo, Joaquim; Bahu, Yoenls; Inácio, M.; Almeida, Pedro; Peralta, Luis; Soares, SandraThe primary motivation for this work is the evaluation of the radon concentration in portable water for human consumption in Bibala, a municipality in Angola, where granitic rocks are common, and contain a high concentration of uranium that can be mobilized in underground water. Radon is the largest contributor of radioactive pollution in underground water.Its concentration in water, represents a public health ...
Human exposure to indoor radon: a survey in the region of Guarda
Louro, Alina; Peralta, Luis; Soares, S.; Pereira, A.; Cunha, G.; Belchior, A.; Ferreira, L.; Monteiro Gil, O.; Louro, Henriqueta; Pinto, P.Radon ((222)Rn) is a radioactive gas, abundant in granitic areas, such as the city of Guarda at the northeast of Portugal. This gas is recognised as a carcinogenic agent, being appointed by the World Health Organization as the second leading cause of lung cancer after tobacco smoke. Therefore, the knowledge of radon concentrations inside the houses (where people stay longer) is important from the point of view ...
