Mapping the geogenic radon potential in Germany.
Mapping the geogenic radon potential in Germany is a research project initiated by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Conservation and Reactor Safety. The project was aimed to develop a standard methodology for the estimation of a geogenic radon potential and to apply this method to map the region of Germany as an overview for planning purposes. The regionalisation results from a ...
متن کاملMapping geogenic radon potential by regression kriging.
Radon ((222)Rn) gas is produced in the radioactive decay chain of uranium ((238)U) which is an element that is naturally present in soils. Radon is transported mainly by diffusion and convection mechanisms through the soil depending mainly on the physical and meteorological parameters of the soil and can enter and accumulate in buildings. Health risks originating from indoor radon concentration...
متن کاملRadioactivity level and the measurement of soil gas radon concentration in Dikili geothermal area, Turkey
Background: The natural radioactivity level and the radon concentration of soil were measured at four important geothermal area located in Dikili geothermal region, Turkey. Materials and Methods: The natural radionuclide content of soil samples were measured by NaI(Tl) gamma spectrometer system and the soil radon concentration were determined using Kodak-Pethe LR-115 Type II Solid State Nuclear...
متن کاملMapping Indoor Radon Potential Using Geology and Soil Permeability
The relative potential for elevated residential indoor radon has been mapped for the City of Fort Collins, Colorado. Using published geologic maps and soil permeability information, the study area was divided into geologic and soil permeability (geoperm) units. Evaluation of the data showed a relationship between residential basement indoor radon concentrations and geopenn units. Mean indoor ra...
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...
