Radon: its impact on the community and the role of the nurse
Abstract:
1. Radon contamination is of growing concern in many industries and communities, but it need not remain a hazard. Testing can be inexpensive and mitigation may be as simple as opening a window. 2. High risk areas are known. For more information on radon one may contact the local EPA office. The address is found in the government section of the white pages of the telephone directory. 3. Occupational health nurses are uniquely positioned to gather and disseminate much needed information on the effects of radon.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
