Radon & Indoor Radiation Exposure in Sub-Saharan Africa

Abstract

Synthetic dataset modelling indoor radon concentrations, building characteristics, and lung cancer risk across three settings in SSA. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer globally; WHO recommends 100 Bq/m³ reference level. Granite geology, poor ventilation, and ground-level dwellings increase concentrations.

Scenarios

Granite Geology Rural: Communities on granite bedrock with mean radon ~120 Bq/m³.
Urban Residential: Mixed urban buildings with mean ~60 Bq/m³.
Occupational Underground: Mines, tunnels, basements with mean ~250 Bq/m³.

Parameterization Evidence

Radon causes 3-14% of lung cancers; 100 Bq/m³ ref	Guideline	WHO Fact Sheet	2023

Nigerian buildings radon monitoring	SSA data	PubMed 40334468	2025
SA community near granite: alpha particle damage	SSA data	PMC12331818	2025

Validation

Usage

from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/radon-indoor-radiation", "granite_geology_rural")

Limitations

Synthetic data; not for clinical decision-making.
Radon concentrations vary seasonally and diurnally; dataset captures annual average.
Limited real measurement data from SSA to validate distributions.
