Potential Risks of NORM and TENORM

Inhalation

Breathing in radioactive gases like radon or dust containing radioactive particles.

Inhalation

Being exposed to gamma radiation emitted by radioactive materials

External Exposure:

Being exposed to gamma radiation emitted by radioactive materials

The health risks associated with radiation exposure include an increased risk of cancer, particularly lung cancer from radon exposure. The specific risk depends on the level and duration of exposure.
