Environmental radon mapping in Sudan, orderly review
The goal of this work is to build up a national database for radon in houses, soil, and water and to demonstrate health risk due to radon inhalation and to construct radon map in the country in order to provide the scientific basic information for the establishment of radon national standard level....

description | The goal of this work is to build up a national database for radon in houses, soil, and water and to demonstrate health risk due to radon inhalation and to construct radon map in the country in order to provide the scientific basic information for the establishment of radon national standard level. The radon predictive maps were built employing familiar GIS software (ArcView 3.2). The review outcomes highlight the characteristics and behaviour of radon in the environment as well as the importance of legislation making radon monitoring in the country is compulsory. If the outcome of this review is hoped that will increase regulation awareness and culture to deal with radon level in Sudan. |
