This book uniquely uses graphs and diagrams to build an understanding of the methods for measuring the surface area and local deposition of nanoparticles in lungs and the effectiveness of respirators in case of nanoparticles exposure. It begins by discussing radon and health. It reviews spectrometry and measurement of nanoparticle activity in the lungs. It discusses the assessment of nanoparticle surface area by measuring unattached fraction of radon progeny, explores the unattached radon progeny as an experimental tool, and discusses the impact of dosage on health effects.
