Rn-222 Determination in Drinking Water Samples in a Region with Elevated Natural Radioactivity in Brazil: Comparison Between Liquid Scintillation Counting and Gamma Spectrometry
Radon is a naturally occurring noble gas. It can easily diffuse into the environment. It is found in waters which are in contact with rocks having high uranium concentration (Desideri et al., 2005). Radon gas is considered to be one of the natural radioactive elements with greatest mobility in the terrestrial crust. Conventional chemical analysis of water does not place emphasis on the study of...
متن کاملStandardization of Rn-222 at the Australian Radiation Laboratory
The standardization of Rn-222 at the Australian Radiation Laboratory involves the calibration of scintillation cells by two methods using standard Ra-226 solutions traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology. One of these methods, namely the injection method, involves direct transfer of Rn-222 into a scintillation cell. In the other method, known as the volumetric method, th...
متن کاملRadon loss across the water - air interface ( Gulf of Thailand ) estimated experimentally from 222 Rn - 224
[1] We used Rn and Ra measured in the Upper Gulf of Thailand to estimate Rn atmospheric evasion across the water-air interface. The Chao Phraya estuary represents a steady-state source of these tracers and we looked at their horizontal distribution on a transect leading away from the estuary into the Gulf. The isotopes Rn and Ra have very similar half-lives and are affected in the same manner b...
متن کاملRn- 222 Concentration and Gamma Dose Rate Measurements in the Vicinity of Hot Springs in Kerman Province, Southeastern, Iran.
Introduction: Radon-222 gas is a radioactive, colorless and odorless element that can cause lung cancer and stomach in humans with alpha-ray emissions. An important source of Radon-222 is the output water in springs, especially hot springs to emit ionision radiation. In this study, Rn-222 activity concentration and gamma dose rate levels in water sample of some selected hot spr...
متن کاملNATION WIDE Rn AND Rn ATLAS FOR INDIA
Considering the epidemiological effect of radon on human beings, an attempt is made to make a nation-wide atlas of Rn and Rn for India. More than 5000 measurements have been carried out in 1500 dwellings across the country, India. The solid state nuclear track detectors were deployed for the measurement of indoor Rn, Rn and their progeny levels. The mean annual inhalation dose rate due to Rn, R...
