If all isotopes of an element are radioactive, such as uranium, radium and radon. Stable isotopes of elements have similar physicochemical properties and different intranuclear properties. ...
With World Nuclear Power Organization’s forecast for a growing number of nuclear power plants to produce electricity (none planned to produce radio-isotopes), the demand for radiation moni-toring devices also grows.Other large opportunities for US Nuclear are their unique products recently offered for radon mitigation in homes and offices and the use of drones to mount ...
The ratio of Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor κB Ligand (RANKL) and Osteoprotegerin (OPG) has become an important marker to assess the status of systemic bone metabolism and has been shown to be dysregulated in AS patients. Combined Low-Dose Radon- and Hyperthermia Therapy (LDRnHT) causes pain reduction in patients with AS and induces the cytokine transforming growth ...
Radiation hormesis was performed in six patients (four patients with malignant diseases and two patients with benign diseases) in the experimental room where they could be exposed to a low level of direct gamma ray and inhale radon gas (radon-222). No significant side-effect was found in any patient during the clinical course. ...
The authors describe lessons learned from dealing with health concerns related to the Vietnam War, Three Mile Island, hazardous waste sites, and radon, as well as emerging issues during that decade. ...
As a next step, we can test for each “area of concern” including airborne chemicals, asbestos, lead, radon, drinking water, mold, and contaminated soils. Next, we can assist in clean-up/decontamination or identify reputable contractors to perform these services. ...
This evidence includes an inverse relationship between radiation levels and cancer induction and/or mortality in: over 200 million people in the USA; 200 million people in India; 10,000 residents of Taipei who live in cobalt-60 contaminated homes; high radiation areas of Ramsar, Iran; 12 million person-years of exposed and carefully selected control nuclear workers; almost 300,000 homes with ...
Radon therapy has been extensively studied by European and Japanese physicians and scientists but information about the specific therapeutic applications of radon in the US is limited to anecdotal and ethnographic data. The purpose of this pilot study was to use range of motion measurements to evaluate the effect of radon therapy on joint ...
Epidemiological evidence of lung cancer risk from radon is based mainly on studies of men employed underground in mines. ...
