The Closed-Can Exhalation Method for Measuring Radon
Results from closed-can radon exhalation experiments must be interpreted bearing the time-dependent radon diffusion theory in mind. A rapid change from the free to final steady-state exhalation rate will take place for all samples that are thin compared with the radon diffusion length. The radon gas accumulating in a closed can corresponds to a free exhalation rate only if the outer volume of a...
متن کاملRadon exhalation from building materials for decorative use.
Long-term exposure to radon increases the risk of developing lung cancer. There is considerable public concern about radon exhalation from building materials and the contribution to indoor radon levels. To address this concern, radon exhalation rates were determined for 53 different samples of drywall, tile and granite available on the Canadian market for interior home decoration. The radon exh...
متن کاملRadon permeability and radon exhalation of building materials.
High radon concentrations indoors usually depend on the possibilities of radon penetration from the surrounding soil into the buildings. Radon concentrations in dwellings up to 100 kBq/m3 were found in some special regions (i.e. Schneeberg/Saxony, Umhausen/Tyrol), where the soil shows a high uranium content and additionally, a fast radon transport in the soil is possible. To reduce the radon ex...
متن کاملRadium and radon exhalation studies of soil
Background: Everyone is exposed to radon because it is present everywhere with varying concentrations. Radon and its progeny are well established as lung carcinogenic. Materials and Methods: Track etch technique using LR-115 plastic track detectors has been used to measure the effective radium content and radon exhalation rates in soil samples collected from urban area of Etah district...
متن کاملThe Novel Track Recording Apparatus from Ssntd for Radon Measurement
The novel ENEA-INMRI Image Analyzer system has been tested in semi-automated mode for a computer-assisted alpha track counting of electro-chemically etched (ECE) and chemically etched CR-39 Solid State Nuclear Track Detector (SSNTD) chips. A track recognition program based on the Java-Image J processing software was developed. Experimental tests have been carried out to maximize the Field of Vi...
