Informasjonen bygger på 10 års erfaring med utmåling av miljøfaktorer rundt syke mennesker. En av målsetningene har vært å finne hvorfor Norge har verdens høyeste forekomst av astma og allergi. Nordmenn er verdens sykeste Norge har verdens høyeste hyppighet av astma, allergi, sukkersyke, beinskjørhet, kroniske tarmbetennelser, psoriasis, lysavhengige depresjoner, og enkelte raskt økende kreftformer. Forekomsten av diffuse plager som hodepine, muskelsmerter, uopplagthet, konsentrasjonsvansker og søvnproblemer er også høy uten at det forligger sammenlignbar statistikk. Helseproblemene følger vestlig levesett. Det er sannsynlig at en eller flere miljøfaktorer er årsak, og at innemiljø er viktigere enn utendørs forurensning.

Lots More Information Shop or Compare Prices If you live in certain parts of the United States, you might be aware of the threat that radon gas poses. Radon gas is radioactive, and in tightly insulated houses it can accumulate to concentrations that pose a health threat. If you inhale the gas into your lungs, its decay can increase your chance of getting lung cancer. A study reported in 1990 by the National Safety Council estimated that about 14,000 deaths a year could be attributed to radon, and that the number could range from 7,000 to 30,000. In this edition of How Stuff Works , we'll talk about what radon is, how you can find it in your home and what the health risks are for it.

RADON North Dakota Department of Health - Division of Air Quality There is no scientific doubt that Radon gas is a known human lung carcinogen. Prolonged exposure to high levels of Radon gas can cause lung cancer. Millions of homes and buildings contain high levels of radon gas. EPA's efforts are directed at locating the homes with high levels and encouraging remediation of them. As a means of prevention, EPA and the Office of the Surgeon General recommend that all homes below the third floor be tested for Radon. Because Radon is invisible and odorless, a simple test is the only way to determine if a home has high radon levels. EPA recommends mitigating homes with high Radon levels and there are straight-forward reduction techniques that will work in virtually any home. Most homes won't have a Radon problem, but there is a simple test to find out if you do or don't have high Radon levels in your home.

Named for the element Radium. Say what? Radon is pronounced as RAY-don History and Uses: Radon was discovered by Friedrich Ernst Dorn, a German chemist, in 1900 while studying radium 's decay chain. Originally named niton after the Latin word for shining, nitens, radon has been known as radon since 1923. Today, radon is still primarily obtained through the decay of radium. At normal room temperatures, radon is a colorless, odorless, radioactive gas. The most common forms of radon decay through alpha decay . Alpha decay usually isn't considered to be a great radiological hazard since the alpha particles produced by the decay are easily stopped. However, since radon is a gas, it is easily inhaled and living tissue is directly exposed to the radiation. Although it has a relatively short half-life , radon decays into longer lived, solid, radioactive elements which can collect on dust particles and be inhaled as well. For these reasons, there is some concern as to the amount of radon present within homes. Radon seeps into houses as a result of the decay of radium

Skip navigation Environmental protection Home Contact Defra About Defra News ... Radioactivity Radon Perhaps you have heard about radon affecting your area, and are wondering whether you should take the test. Perhaps you have taken the test but feel you don't know enough about what it means. Either way, these pages are for you. They tell you what radon is, where it is found, what the dangers are - and explain the good news that the measures needed to get rid of radon problems are easy, effective and relatively inexpensive. In some areas of the UK, naturally occurring radon poses a health risk to a relatively small number of people in their homes. Since 1987 over 400,000 government-funded tests have been carried out by the National Radiological Protection Board (NRPB) on individual buildings - these have enabled it to build up a country-wide map of radon levels , and helped thousands of individual householders to make their homes safe. The Government is using the map as the basis for its action plan. The Government wants people who may be at risk to test their homes for radon, and to follow up with radon reduction measures if they find there is a problem. Even though only a small proportion of the UK population are actually affected by radon, everyone should know the facts - so read on.

NEW!! Has HUD violated Federal Radon Laws? NEW!! HUD Radon Testing Recommendations HUD letter to FHA loan Mortgagees (PDF) Revised HUD Home Inspection Form (PDF) What is Radon? Radon is a colorless, odorless and tasteless radioactive gas that occurs naturally in most rocks and soil. It is produced by the breakdown of uranium in soil, rock and water. Radon is harmlessly dispersed in outdoor air, but when trapped in buildings can increase the risk of lung cancer, especially at elevated levels. "How Radon became an issue." What is the Health Risk? According to the Surgeon General, exposure to radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States and is estimated to cause 15,000 to 22,000 of lung cancer deaths per year. Radon is not known to cause other illnesses or problems such as upper respiratory infections, colds or allergic reactions. Its only known health effect is an increased risk of developing lung cancer. However, as with those who smoke, not everyone exposed to high levels of radon will develop lung cancer, and the time between exposure and the onset of cancer may be many years.

The Radon Transform The Radon Transform - Theory and Implementation , PhD Theis by Peter Toft, IMM, DTU, 1996. Background In recent years the Hough transform and the related Radon transform have received much attention. These two transforms are able to transform two dimensional images with lines into a domain of possible line parameters, where each line in the image will give a peak positioned at the corresponding line parameters. This have lead to many line detection applications within image processing, computer vision, and seismics. or the identical expression Using this definition an image containing two lines are transformed into the Radon transform shown to the right It can be seen that two very bright spots are found in the Radon transform, and the positions shown the parameters of the lines in the original image. A simple thresholding algorithm could then be used to pick out the line parameters, and given that the transform is linear many lines will just give rise to a a set of distinct point in the Radon domain. In my Ph.D. thesis the relationship with the Hough transform is investigated, and it is shown that the Radon transform and the Hough transform are related but NOT the same. Noise The very strong property of the Radon transform is the ability to extract lines (curves in general) from very noise images as shown below. Theoretically results regarding the influence of noise can be found in Chapter 5 of my Ph.D. thesis.
