The 2024 UNSCEAR report has updated its methodology for evaluating indoor radon concentrations, part of the most comprehensive global assessment to date of public exposure to ionising radiation.
Drawing on extensive literature review (2007-2022), it reconfirms: natural sources, including radon, remain by far the top contributors to public exposure worldwide.

Traditional shielding strategies aim to reduce #astronaut radiation ☢️ exposure by increasing vehicle mass, but this is ineffective for the extremely penetrating #galactic cosmic rays. #Astronauts will face radiation hazards resulting from solar ☀️ activity that can create solar energetic particles. Active shielding 🛡️ approaches are likely a required component of any realistic solution (#electrostatic shielding) https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0969806X22000494
