Abstract
This review aimed to explore advances in radon detection methods, emphasizing cost-effectiveness and accessible techniques such as CDs, DVDs, and glass-based detectors. In this review, we compared traditional methods like alpha track detectors and continuous radon monitors with emerging innovations that leverage polycarbonate material and IoT-integrated systems. Our evaluation of the synthesis suggests that CDs and DVDs provide scalable solutions for long-term radon monitoring, while glass-based detectors like CR-39 offer high sensitivity for epidemiological studies. The integration of IoT and AI technologies further enhances real-time radon monitoring, paving the way for precise, scalable, and affordable radon mitigation strategies. This work highlights the importance of low-cost, innovative approaches in reducing radon-related lung cancer risks and informs future research on optimizing the technologies for diverse environments.
