Comparative analysis of the glass implantation method and the CD/DVD method.

Criteria	Glass Implantation Method	CD/DVD Method
Accuracy	Accuracy varies; generally, within a factor of 2–3 at best by an order of magnitude.	Comparatively better accuracy is observed, with less variability in results.
Ease of Implementation	Requires access to specific types of glass and specialized microscopic equipment; can be challenging to implement widely.	Easier implementation due to widespread availability and affordability of CDs/DVDs and simpler analysis process.
Potential Limitations	Requires historical glass that has been undisturbed.	Quality and age of CD/DVD may vary, and environmental conditions may affect track preservation. Outdated in technology.
Preferable Conditions	Ideal for detailed studies in historical buildings or long-occupied residential homes where glass has not been disturbed.	Suitable for broad and cost-effective screening in residential and office environments. This method is good for preliminary assessments.
Contributions to the Field	Provides highly reliable data for detailed exposure assessment and scientific studies.	Facilitates widespread, basic radon exposure assessments.
