We propose a new technique to prepare statistically-robust benchmarking data for evaluating chemical transport model meteorology and air quality parameters within the urban boundary layer. The approach employs atmospheric class-typing, using nocturnal ra...

Radon is a naturally occurring, colorless, odorless, and tasteless radioactive gas. Without testing, its presence is unknown. Using nationally representative data from the 2012 School Health Policies and Practices Study, we examined whether the prevalenc...

Long-term exposure to elevated indoor radon concentrations has been determined to be the second leading cause of lung cancer in adults after tobacco smoking. With the establishment of a National Radon Program in Canada in 2007 thousands of homes across t...

The concentration of radon in the air in buildings ranged from 1.87 ± 3.24 Bq/m3 to 14.27 ± 1.50 Bq/m3 with a mean of 6.31 ± 3.47 Bq/m3 while that of the progeny of radon varied from 0.007 to 0.057 WL (average: 0.025). The mean indoor concentration of ra...
