Participants with high MMAS-8 scores 8.4 times more likely be virally...
Abstract Radiation and radioactive isotopes form part of our natural environment. Elevated levels these in the environment can pose a threat to health. A greater proportion radiation is from gas radon. Although it cannot be detected by human senses, radon its progenies are health concern as cause lung cancer when inhaled over period time. This study sought provide baseline indoor data, life time risk interpretation within suburb Ghana. Solid State Nuclear Track Detector (LR-115 type II) was...
