Description:
The rate of exhalation of radon by persons with long-standing radium burdens increases about twofold shortly after a meal. The increase is short-lived and "normal" values are regained in 1.5 to 2 hours. The effect may account in part for the poor reproducibility in estimates of the freely emanating part of the radium content.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Rundo, J -- Markun, F -- Sha, J Y -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1978 Mar 17;199(4334):1211-2.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/628836" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
