European Atlas of Natural Radiation
Did you know that airborne radon, a radioactive gas, is the largest source of natural radiation? Its particles are the second most common cause of lung cancer after smoking.
Romanian researchers track the most elusive of particles - neutrons - to help nuclear pioneers develop better cancer treatments and safe energy with less waste.
This research is part of our 'open access' initiative. We operate dozens of world-class laboratories to conduct research for the benefit of EU citizens. We invite scientists from all over Europe to conduct their research in our labs which are funded by the EU budget.
