Field evaluation and health assessment of air cleaners in removing radon decay products in domestic environments
Abstract
dc:descriptionThe United States Environmental Protection Agency suggested in 1988 that the possibility for high radon concentration exists in some houses. The inhalation and deposition of radon decay products in human lungs are recognized as producing a significant health risk. Air cleaners are one of the mitigative methods that remove radon decay products rather than radon itself. Currently, there are still uncertainties about the health benefit of air cleaners. Therefore, a better understanding of how air cleaners influence the behavior of radon decay products is needed.
