Postprandial changes in the exhalation rate of radon produced in vivo

J Rundo, F Markun, and JY Sha

The rate of exhalation of radon by persons with long-standing radium burdens increases about twofold shortly after a meal. The increase is short-lived and "normal" values are regained in 1.5 to 2 hours. The effect may account in part for the poor reproducibility in estimates of the freely emanating part of the radium content.
