Association of Radon Background and Total Background Ionizing Radiation with Alzheimer’s
Disease Deaths in U.S. States
Published in The Journal of Alzheimer's Disease (http://content.iospress.com/journals/journal-of-alzheimers-disease), vol. 59, no. 2, pp. 737-741, 2017
Results: Radon background ionizing radiation was significantly correlated with AD death rate in 50 states and the District of Columbia (r = 0.467, p = 0.001).
Using a mechanical ventilation system to provide fresh filtered air can:
1. Dilute, and flush-out, odors, chemicals, CO2, microbes, and radon.
2. Prevent exposure to chemicals and CO2 at elevated levels that can significantly decrease cognitive functions. Reference: https://thinkprogress.org/green-buildings-improve-thinking-and-sleep-29c2d47cc037/#.mn18r7vc8
3. Make it safe to seal the many air leaks in building envelopes to block entry of dust, drafts and insects.
