Multi-scaled Monte Carlo calculation for radon-induced cellular damage in the bronchial airway epithelium

Radon is a leading cause of lung cancer in indoor public and mining workers. Inhaled radon progeny releases alpha particles, which can damage cells in the airway epithelium. The extent and complexity of cellular damage vary depending on the alpha particle’s kinetic energy and cell characteristics. W...
