Simultaneous Measurement of Radon and Thoron Exhalation Rate from Soil and Building Materials
The mainly sources for indoor radon concentrations in all types of houses are the soil radon flux under the building (about 80%) and the radon exhalation from building materials (about20%). Our paper presents two methods for simultaneous measurement of this exhalation from soil and building materials: (1) -charcoal adsorption, respectively (2)-Lucas cell method. The both methods are applicable ...
متن کاملMeasurement Of Radon Exhalation Rate And Radiation Doses From Some Building Construction Materials
For the measurements 19 samples of building materias used in construction activities in this region of India were collected from various sites. In the present investigations radon exhalation rates from some building materials like fly ash, cement, slag, Bottom ash, Sand, Bazari, Badarpur and flooring tiles have been estimated using sealed can technique. It can be observed that Radon activity, R...
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 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...
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...
