‘Indoor radon survey in Greenland and dose assessment’

“The indoor radon contribution to the annual inhalation effective dose to an average adult was 0.5 mSv in Nuuk, 6.5 mSv in Narsaq, 2.0 mSv in Qaqortoq, and 4.0 mSv for south Greenland adult person weighted. The estimated annual average effective dose to adults in Narsaq is higher than the world's average annual effective dose of 1.3 mSv due to inhalation of indoor radon. Cost-efficient mitigation methods exist to reduce radon in existing buildings, and to prevent radon entry into new buildings”.
