Potential radon risk in permafrost regions of the Northern Hemisphere under climate change: A review

Outdoor Radon Dose Rate in Canada’s Arctic amid Climate Change

“…Radon concentrations in a given region depend largely on local uranium reservoirs, geological features, and meteorological conditions, and they fluctuate on a daily, seasonal, and annual basis. Canada is abundant in uranium, with the majority being found in permafrost regions, which are also identified as high risk areas for radon exposure under a warming climate. Concerns about radon exposure are growing in recent years, particularly regarding the impact of climate change in areas that are experiencing rising temperatures, degrading permafrost, or shifting precipitation patterns. ,− …”
