Gaseous Emissions and Radiological Protection in Metallurgical Waste Handling

The handling, storage, and processing of metallurgical waste may generate gaseous releases, including radon and radioactive aerosols, particularly in confined or poorly ventilated environments.

These gaseous matrices represent a critical pathway for worker exposure, through:

• Inhalation of radioactive gases or particulates,

• Accumulation of radon in enclosed workspaces,

• Contamination of equipment and work areas.

RADIO PROTECT LAB conducts monitoring and assessment of gaseous radiological hazards, enabling:

• Quantification of airborne radioactivity,

• Evaluation of inhalation doses,

• Definition of ventilation and protective strategies.

Effective control of gaseous emissions is a cornerstone of radiological protection for both workers and the environment.
