Assuming that "radon“ is needed, became 13 results found.
which on average brings the most rainfall, it is hardly humid. In October 2023, heavy rain, thunderstorms and a sandstorm had already led to similar weather chaos in Dubai. * Radon | Lung cancer | Stroke Radon also increases the risk of stroke Even moderate amounts of radon can be harmful to health Double risk: The radioactive radon can not only cause cancer...
Some states and small island nations that are already particularly hard hit by climate change had pushed for clear language and, above all, more commitment to climate change... * BfS | Radon map shows regional radon pollution in Germany A new map from the Federal Office for Radiation Protection shows the average pollution with the radioactive gas radon in Germany. Before...
is committed to exploiting the offshore wind potential of the North Sea with energy islands. However, options for a better and more cost-effective concept should now be analyzed first... * Radon | Uranium mining | Erzgebirge Carcinogenic gas radon in Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia The occurrence of radon cannot be prevented in some regions. But you can fight against this...
Metal-containing nodules are radioactive and exceed radiation protection limits by a hundred to a thousand times, as measurements reveal. The manganese nodules also release the radioactive gas radon. The cause is natural radioactive isotopes such as thorium-230 and radium-226 enriched in the metallic layers. [...] Now measurements reveal that the degradation of the manganese nodules...

According to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Zaporizhzhia is again connected to the external power supply, which is important for cooling the fuel rods... * Radiation protection | Radon Radiation protectors warn of insufficient knowledge about radon. Scientists consider knowledge about the health-damaging effects of the radioactive gas radon to be dangerously low. Above all that...
Newsletter XXXVII 2022 - September 17 to 23 - News+ Low-level ionizing radiation also poses a risk
radioactive substances released. Paracelsus described Schneeberg's disease in 1567. Metal ores and coal contain more radionuclides than the average biosphere; Mines transport radon from the earth's interior to the surface. With the extraction of uranium, the construction of nuclear power plants and, above all, the construction and above-ground testing of nuclear weapons, radioactivity was released into the biosphere...
There is an allegation circulating that Ukrainian President Zelensky was involved in a network of offshore companies. That is correct, but the article contains some inaccuracies. * Radon | Uranium | Radiation protection Radon, the invisible health hazard It is colorless, odorless and tasteless and therefore imperceptible to the human senses. Nevertheless, it is there: radon. The...
Further radionuclides arise indirectly as decay products that are constantly reproduced in the radioactive decay series of these primordial nuclides, such as the gas radon that emerges everywhere from the ground. These nuclides are called radiogenic. Additional cosmogenic radionuclides are continually produced in the atmosphere through nuclear reactions with cosmic radiation. They include...
Apr. 26, 2016 - 30 years after Chernobyl - 5 years after Fukushima
of Wismut AG. In the German East, which is almost 98% foreigner-free, there are blooming German landscapes and beautiful, old German uranium mines, where you can really get irradiated with German radon and really rev up your immune system. We are the people who follow! In order to get nuclear power back on track, you need the right leaders, flawless...
Production "Environmental protection" is determined by the nuclear lobby The nuclear-critical doctors' organization IPPNW describes the consequences of this "responsibility": "Inhalation of uranium dust and radon can cause cancer - primarily lung cancer. (…) Uranium is highly toxic and affects internal organs Organs such as the kidneys. Studies show that uranium can cause deformities in fetuses and infants...
Over 80% of the radioactive material remains in the tailings. The wind blows radiant particles in all directions. One of the most dangerous decay products of uranium is the noble gas radon, which spreads invisibly and odorlessly and results in a significantly increased risk of lung cancer. "Due to the low uranium content, mining at Rössing involves enormous...
THTR Newsletter No. 103 December 2005
The environmental impact study submitted to mine operators was evaluated in a separate 24-page study (1). The institute found that the values of the radioactive gases radium and radon were underestimated by the operators by a factor of four. The German institute also criticized serious deficiencies, weak points and unresolved problems with regard to the resulting...
