Ship emissions degrade air quality and affect human health, are increasingly becoming a matter of concern. Sulfur emission control areas (ECA), specific coastal regions where only low-sulfur fuels may be consumed by ocean-going ships, have proven to useful tools reduce ship-sourced pollution along the North American, Canadian, European Baltic Sea coastlines. The present work assesses environmental health benefits which would derive from designating an ECA in Marmara Turkish Straits (50 000...
A comparison of low-cost radon monitors was conducted at the Laboratory Natural Radiation (LNR). The we evaluated were EcoQube, RadonEye, RadonEye Plus2, Spirit, ViewPlus, ViewRadon and WavePlus. An AlphaGUARD monitor calibrated Environmental Radioactivity University Cantabria (LaRUC), accredited for testing calibration according to ISO/IEC 17025, provided reference value concentration. temporal stability studied, obtaining a percentage missing records ranged from 1% 19% data. main technical...
Residential radon exposure is a serious public health concern, and as such appears in the recommendations of European Code Against Cancer. The objective this study was to assess association between residential levels mortality due different types cancer, using misaligned data analysis techniques. Mortality (observed cases) for each 313 Galician municipalities were drawn from records National Statistics Institute period (1999–2008). Expected cases computed rates 14 malignant tumors reference,...
Interlaboratory exercises are a good tool to compare the response of different systems same quantity and identify possible inconsistencies between them. One main goals EMPIR 19ENV01 traceRadon project is harmonize radon flux measurements based on methodologies. In framework Project, two intercomparison campaigns were carried out in October 2021 at high low source areas. Four institutions participated field with their own systems. Every system was specific monitor (diffusion or pump mode) an...
Radon accumulation in indoor environments poses a significant public health concern, especially educational institutions, where children are particularly vulnerable. This study investigates radon activity concentrations (IRAC) 198 institutions and 266 houses from Cluj-Napoca, Romania, analyzing total of 1440 rooms. levels were assessed using CR-39 track detectors, with measurements conducted over three twelve-month periods for residential buildings, respectively. Preliminary results reveal...
Interlaboratory comparisons are a basic part of the regular quality controls laboratories to warranty adequate performance test and measurements. The exercise presented in this article is comparison indoor radon gas measurements under field conditions performed with passive detectors active monitors carried out Laboratory Natural Radiation (LNR). aim provide direct between different methodologies identify physical reasons for possible inconsistencies, particularly related sampling...

The purpose of this paper is to benchmark several different radon monitors, by quantifying their accuracy and response time. Radon monitors with characteristics were tested in a purpose-built chamber under reference conditions. concentration the was controlled maintained at stable (2648 ± 85) Bq m-3 evaluate precision these monitors. time analysed for two intervals. To assess varied from theoretical value 0-6441 then 6441 2648 m-3. results study show that general are less accurate than those...
