The paper presents the results of a national radon survey conducted in context Republic Moldova. study included about 2500 homes different types, located urban and rural localities areas country. RADTRAK2 detectors kindly provided by RADONOVA laboratory, Uppsala, Sweden, for MOL9007 project funded International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) have been used. exposure period was 90 days. measured concentrations are following: average (±standard deviation) 252.8 ± 215.9 Bq/m3; range...
This work presents the results from measurements of radon concentrations in primary and high school education institutions—including their gymnasiums—from Chisinau municipality various rayons central southern part Republic Moldova. In research carried out during years 2013–2014 2021, there were 78 (29 + 49) premises included, respectively, 149 23,805 investigations performed using RTM-1642 (active measurements) RadonEye+2 devices (passive measurements). The show an essential variability for...
Introduction. Radon is a chemical element of increased interest to the scientific community due its implications in etiology bronchopulmonary cancer. Pollution indoor air with radon causes serious effects on health, alpha radiation emitted following process disintegration into isotopes that together dust particles, enters alveolar level. Material and methods. This study was based analysis bibliographic sources within PubMed Google Scholar platforms. The relevant articles for were chosen...
Natural radioactivity is still a topic addressed at the international level with multiple segments interspersed in upward pace of technological and economic development local level. The intensity concerns aspect radioprotection starts from series factors that condition doses exposure population to sources ionizing radiation, thus determining medical, social, demographic effects characteristic medico-social problem. Radon, through its contribution creation natural radioactive background, has...
Introduction. The most important risk factors for lung cancer are the tobacco smoking and residential radon exposure. study of interaction x as trigger factor morbidity in Republic Moldova was carried out.
 Material methods. Data on prevalence national STEPS 2021, data 2012-2020 measurements using RADTRAK2 during 2018-2021 were used. processing tools included summary statistics cluster analysis.
 Results. distribution high values, number smokers is uneven throughout country....
Objectives. Residential exposure to radon is the second risk factor for lung cancer triggering smokers and first – non-smokers. The obtaining reliable result in this area requires large-scale epidemiological scientific studies with appropriate patient samples, but results of some are controversial. synthetic analysis specialized literature served as a basis methodology development study interaction x smoking trigger occurrence at Republic Moldova. Material methods. Global experience on...
Ionizing radiation of terrestrial origin is a topic global interest and the main objective study medical-biological effects on health. The academic community in continuous research development methods for detecting them. One most important elements participating creation natural background ionizing radiation, with major impact health radon. It cannot be perceived by human senses as it an odorless, colorless, tasteless gas. Radon inhaled into alveoli lungs disrupts cellular processes,...
