🌍 Where does radon actually come from? It is a question I get asked more often than you would think.Pages 19 and 20 of the UNSCEAR 2024 Report lay it out clearly: the main sources are natural, rooted in the radioactive decay of uranium and radium present in rocks and soil. But building materials, groundwater, and ventilation all play a role too.

Page 19 of the UNSCEAR 2024 Report (Vol. II) sets out the framework for dose assessment methodology — essential reading for anyone working in radiation protection or environmental radioactivity.
Worth a careful read if you follow the science behind exposure evaluation.

Morning run done — 8.5 km — and straight into ERA Workshop recap mode 🏃🎙️
Yesterday in Bergamo: four talks on radon in water, RadonNet instruments, gamma spectrometry + indoor air risk assessment, and soil gas by Matej Neznal. Roundtable with ~40–45 on site and ~20 online. ERA AGM, Executive Committee meeting, rooftop dinner. ☀️ 25 degrees in Bergamo.
Science doesn't stop. Neither does the training.

The UNSCEAR 2024 Report is out.
This is the most comprehensive review of natural radiation sources available — and radon and thoron are at its core. Updated dose assessments, new epidemiological evidence, and findings that will inform regulation and practice globally.
If you work in radiation protection, environmental radioactivity, or public health, pages 18 onwards are essential reading.

How confident can we really be in radiation risk estimates?
UNSCEAR 2024 Vol. II, Annex B p.17 applies a Bayesian framework to show how exposure and dose measurement uncertainties feed into cancer risk models. Honest science about what we know — and what we don't.
Essential for radiation protection, dosimetry, and public health professionals.

In 1986, I was 9 and only vaguely aware of Chernobyl.
Now, working in radiation, I recognise how deeply that event shaped scientific priorities, public perception, and professional paths.
A reminder of the long shadow of major technological events.
