            Abstract

            In most epidemiological studies, contemporary radon measurements are used as a proxy for radon concentrations during the latency period even though extreme changes in radon levels may have occurred. Airborne radon decay products are deposited and implanted through alpha recoil into exposed glass surfaces, providing a measure of time-integrated retrospective radon concentration in the environment in which the glass has been located.
