Abstract
Abstract
Six research studies involving radon and thoron in Kenya were carried out between 1997 and 2007. The studies were mainly small scale and involved a few areas scattered across Nairobi, Rift Valley, Coast and Western regions. The results were captured in seven online journal articles. This paper relooks at the journal articles with the view of underscoring the high radon and thoron areas in Kenya, raising awareness on the sources and risks of radon isotopes in indoor environments and highlighting the need for more research on the isotopes in the country.
