The project undertaken by Ä. Degenhardt from BfS is one of the four finalists nominated for the ICRP Cousins Award in 2023. Her project titled “A Biokinetic Model to Assess Radon Uptake by the Fetus in Pregnant Women” is part of the work in Task 3.3 of WP3 and will be...
New publication from WP5
The latest publication from Felicioni et al. at the Czech Technical University in Prague is titled “An Environmental Evaluation of Ventilation Systems Aimed at Reducing Indoor Radon Concentration”. The study evaluated the environmental impact of residential...
Why people (not)protect from radon? New RadoNorm article published in the Frontiers of Public Health
Evidence consistently indicates that testing for radon and subsequent home mitigation rates are generally low in many countries, even when indoor radon concentrations can be cost-effectively reduced. The new RadoNorm study, conducted by Hevey David, Perko Tanja,...
Dose rate contributions in Norwegian mines in the cold season
A new publication from WP2 authors H. Haanes, S. Dahlgren and A. L. Rudjord from Norway explored pathways during the cold season of 222Rn, 220Rn and thoron progeny within the legacy iron mines and in the niobium legacy mine in the Fen igneous complex in Norway. From...

Sylvain Andresz from the Nuclear Protection Evaluation Center (CEPN), presented the development and the results of the French citizen science pilot project at the 2023 edition of the national congress of the French Society for Radiation Protection (SFRP) which took...
Smoking reduces radon dose to the lungs?
A recent RadoNorm study by Honorio da Silva et al. has found that miners chronic smokers receive 3% smaller lung doses than a non-smoking reference adult male (stipulated by the International Commission on Radiological Protection), and dose for smokers is reduced by...
