Due to their short range and high linear energy transfer (LET) of α particles, it is necessary to evaluate the dose deposition at the cellular and subcellular levels so as to better assess their health effects on the human body. Given that the lung is the primary target organ for radon exposure, we utilized human bronchial epithelial cells (BEAS-2B cells) to construct a realistic mesh model. Using Monte Carlo simulation software PHITS, we computed cellular S-values under conditions of radon and progeny irradiation, the deposited does inside cells of nuclide that distribute outside cells has been calculated. These calculations were contrasted with results obtained from traditional geometric models and MIRDcell calculations. To quantify the damage effects caused by radon and its progeny, this study used MCDS to calculate the DNA damage, for various nuclides, Rn-222 produces the highest number of double-strand breaks (DSBs) up to 21.8 Gy-1cell-1, while Tl-210 produces the least DSBs with 8.32 Gy-1cell-1. Additionally, other damage metrics such as single-strand breaks (SSBs), “OTHER”, and “ALL CLUSTERS” were quantified. This research, based on the BEAS-2B cell model, offers more precise information on cellular doses and damage effects of radon and its progeny. It holds significant implications for the future development of radiation protection strategies and applications in radon therapy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8096,"journal":{"name":"Applied Radiation and Isotopes","volume":"220 ","pages":"Article 111749"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143511325","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The simulation results were numerically validated through comparisons with published theoretical and experimental data. From the simulated experiments, the contributions of different species to the total track density and what the detector might measure in the studied configuration and assumed parameters were inferred. It was shown that near the wall, where the effective volumes of all species are located, the number of radon atoms was approximately constant, while that of thoron decreased to about 30% relative to the number of exhaled atoms, and the equilibrium factors of both gases were very low. A negligible contribution of <sup>220</sup>Rn and <sup>216</sup>Po to the track density is expected if the distance between detector's edges and support exceeds 5–6 times the thoron characteristic diffusion length. For similar detector and support sizes, these atoms can significantly contribute to the track density if thoron exhalation rate from wall is high. The advantages and limitations of the detector exposure method for estimating indoor radon concentrations are analyzed.
