Abstract excerpt
Radon is an inert gas that can migrate from soils and rocks and accumulate in enclosed areas such as buildings and underground mines. The ubiquitous occurrence of radon in the environment is the primary cause of harmful radiation exposure to the public. To investigate the mutagenic effect of radon, mouse FM3A cells growing on soft agarose plates were exposed to alpha particles disintegrated from radon-222 and...
