Study of Indoor Radon and Thoron Levels in Srirampura, Bangalore, India using Passive Detector Technique
Results of the measurement of indoor radon and thoron carried out in and around Srirampura, Bangalore, India using passive detector technique is presented. Measurements were carried out using twin cup radon-thoron dosimeter using small strips of 12 micron thick LR-115 Type II nuclear track detectors. Measurements were carried out in 60 dwellings for a period of one year on a quarterly time inte...
متن کاملTest measurements of thoron concentration using two ionization chambers AlphaGUARD vs. radon monitor RAD7
Thoron 220Rn is one of four naturally occurring radon isotopes. It has a half-life T1/2 equal to 55 s. Radon isotopes are chemically inert radioactive gases that occur in the environment as a result of the decay of radioactive elements in soil and minerals. While radon 222Rn results from the decay chain of uranium 238U, thoron 220Rn results from the decay of thorium 232Th. Both uranium and thor...
متن کاملUse of LR-115 Detector to Measure Radon Concentrations in Milk and Tea Samples Collected From Misan Markets in Iraq
Introduction: Radioactive material is always present in the environment, and the largest contribution to the inhalation exposure comes from the short half-life decay products of radon. Accordingly, the concentrations of radon were measured in the milk and tea samples collected from Misanmarkets in Iraq. Material and Methods: A total of 2...
متن کاملPinocchio, Tengu and Trolls are very able to measure thoron
In the editorial published in the journal of Radiation Protection Dosimetry, Tommasino, Falk and Fujimoto (2003:104, 99-100) proved that Pinocchio, Tengu and Trolls, thanks to their long noses, are very able to protect themselves from thoron exposure. The present paper is aimed at a more ambitious goal, which is to prove that Pinocchio, Tengu and Trolls are also very able to measure thoron (plu...
متن کاملIdentification of Building Facade’s Functions by Using Fuzzy TOPSIS Technique
Housing is viewed as a collection of characteristics that are used to satisfy goals, such as comfort and visual quality. Identifying the most important functions of facade results in improving quality. In this regard, the facade plays a crucial role in creating the borders of inner space in contact with its surroundings and can be considered as an interface. This study aimed to investigate and ...
