“…SCARCELLI et al [9] proposed a cyber-physical system for monitoring and controlling human exposure composed of intercommunicating computer networks. The network is designed to have an intelligent component to connect to physical sensors and their interactions with the external world (communication with the interface system, other sensors in the network, actuator to modify the conditions of the environment).…”

The Fourth Industrial Revolution has brought society many benefits, such as technological advances, and many challenges to be overcome. To increase the synergy between physical and digital systems, most often used in the optimization processes of physical systems, metrology 4.0 has become an essential tool for their development. A state-of-the-art paper is significant in understanding how these applications develop, focusing on Cyber-Physical Systems and Digital Twins in ionizing radiation. The online search was conducted in general and specific databases with keywords in English. Thus, twelve articles were analyzed and discussed, divided into three main themes: indirect applications, ionizing radiation metrology projects, and systematic reviews. It was possible to notice that the number of articles related to these technologies in ionizing radiation is still tiny compared to other areas, especially when compared to the industry, making it even more challenging.

The long-term assessment of radon (Rn) is a critical factor in evaluating the exposure risk faced by building occupants, and it plays a significant role in determining the implementation of Rn remediation strategies aimed at enhancing indoor air quality (IAQ). Meteorological parameters, such as temperature, relative humidity, and atmospheric pressure, as well as geological factors, such as soil properties, uranium content, rock formations, parent rock weathering, and water content, can significantly impact the assessment of Rn exposure risk and the selection of appropriate mitigation measures. A continuous monitoring campaign of a National Architectural Heritage building serving as a museum open to the public for a period of 546 consecutive days was conducted. The results of the in situ investigation revealed a broad range of seasonality in indoor Rn emission, with a negative correlation observed between Rn concentration and air temperature. The data indicated that indoor Rn concentration increases in the winter months as a result of reduced indoor air temperature and decreased air exchange, while it decreases in the summer months due to increased air temperature and enhanced natural ventilation. However, the implementation of high ventilation rates to improve IAQ may result in significant heat losses, thereby affecting the thermal comfort of building occupants during the winter months. Therefore, it is imperative to achieve a balance between ventilation practices and energy efficiency requirements to ensure both IAQ and thermal comfort for building occupants.

“…In [76], Amato et al developed an innovative open CPS to monitor and control human exposure to ionizing radiation tested with a PIN Diode Radiation Sensor (RN53 from Teviso Sensor Technologies) and front-end electronics. Each prototype node realized in a printed circuit board (PCB) has an intelligent component with inherent physical sensing and actuation capabilities in real-time, as well as mature communication resources.…”

Radon gas is a harmful pollutant with a well-documented adverse influence on public health. In poorly ventilated environments, that are often prone to significant radon levels, studies indicate a known relationship between human radon exposure and lung cancer. Recent technology advances, notably on the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem, allow the integration of sensors, computing, and communication capabilities into low-cost and small-scale devices that can be used for implementing specific cyber-physical systems (CPS) for online and real-time radon management. These technologies are crucial for improving the overall building indoor air quality (IAQ), contributing toward the so-called cognitive buildings, where human-based control is tending to decline, and building management systems (BMS) are focused on balancing critical factors, such as energy efficiency, human radon exposure management, and user experience, to achieve a more transparent and harmonious integration between technology and the built environment. This work surveys recent IoT technologies for indoor radon exposure management (monitoring, assessment and mitigation), and discusses its main challenges and opportunities, by focusing on methods, techniques, and technologies to answer the following questions: (i) What technologies have been recently in use for radon exposure management; (ii) how they operate; (iii) what type of radon detection mechanisms do they use; and (iv) what type of system architectures, components, and communication technologies have been used to assist the referred technologies. This contribution is relevant to pave the way for designing more intelligent and sustainable systems that rely on IoT and Information and Communications Technology (ICT), to achieve an optimal balance between these two critical factors: human radon exposure management and building energy efficiency.
