Measurement of radon concentration in blood and urine samples collected from female cancer patients using RAD7

This study has been undertaken for the purpose of health risk assessments. The significant of the results is this study indicate to the health risk assessments by showing association between radon concentration of blood and urine and cancers. The concentration of radon in blood samples varies from 417 to 714 Bq m−3 with an average of 570.25 Bq m−3 before irradiation and varies from 463 to 881 Bq m−3 with an average of 734.50 after irradiation. The concentration of radon in urine samples varies from 149 to 289 Bq m−3 with an average of 208.50 Bq m−3 before irradiation and varies from 239 to 1990 Bq m−3 with an average of 1062.62 Bq m−3 after irradiation. This study shows association between radon and cancers, also the results showed that the Rad7 particularly, has ability to measuring the concentration of blood and urine samples with higher levels of radon and correlation together.
