Investigating Indoor Radon Concentration Using CR-39 Detector; a Case Study of Gachin Dwellings in Hormozgan
Introduction: Radon is a colorless inert gas which decay products are the main component of natural radioactive elements that are naturally produced in under layers of earth crust by decay of radium and uranium. It enters through buildings via gaps and cracks. Radon gas decay products like alpha particle can increase the incidence of lung cancer in human. Since every person sp...
متن کاملindoor radon concentrations and effective dose estimation in al-karkh side of baghdad dwellings
indoor radon concentrations, the annual effective dose rate and the annual equivalent dose rate to the lung and to the public were measured in the dwellings of 10 neighborhoods located on the west side of the river tigris (al-karkh) in baghdad city using passive dosimeters. cr-39 solid state nuclear track detector (ssntd) technique was used for radon measurements. ninety-one dosimeters were dis...
متن کاملMeasurement of Radon Concentrations and Surface Exhalation Rates using CR-39 detector in Soil Samples of Al-Diwaniyah Governorate, Iraq
Introduction: Natural radioactivity in the soil is considered a major indicator of radiological contamination. Primordial radionuclides are the main source of natural radioactivity. Natural radioactivity transfers radionuclides into the environment and poses radiation hazards to people's health. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the radon concentration an...

Background: Inhalation of radon and its short-lived decay products is one of the ‎most significant sources of exposure to natural radiation. Radon is the second cause ‎of lung cancer in the populations. The present study was carried out under the projects of ‎national radon, with the aim of determining the concentration of indoor in the city of Qom ‎located in the central se...
متن کاملIndoor Radon Measurement in Dwellings of Khorramabad City, Iran
Introduction: Exposure to indoor radon increases the risk of lung cancer. This study examined the level of indoor radon in dwellings of Khorramabad city, by using passive alpha-track detector (CR-39) during winter of 2016. Materials and Methods: In the present study, we detected the concentration of indoor radon in 56 dwellings. A passive sampling instrument (alpha-track detector with CR-39 pol...
