Quantifying lung dose from inhaled radon progeny using computational fluid dynamics

Key Points

• Assessing lung dose dynamics reveals how inhaled radon progeny impact respiratory health.
• Quantifications indicate a significant lung dose variation depending on inhalation patterns and conditions.
• The method involves computational fluid dynamics to analyze air flow and particle deposition in the lungs.
• Findings suggest a need for effective measures to mitigate inhalation risks of radon exposure.
