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 کاملAlpha-particle radiobiological experiments using thin CR-39 detectors.
The present paper studied the feasibility of applying comet assay to evaluate the DNA damage in individual HeLa cervix cancer cells after alpha-particle irradiation. We prepared thin CR-39 detectors (<20 microm) as cell-culture substrates, with UV irradiation to shorten the track formation time. After irradiation of the HeLa cells by alpha particles, the tracks on the underside of the CR-39 det...
متن کاملPhoto-Spectro-Metric Study of CR-39 Detectors Irradiated with Heavy Ions
The fission fragments and heavy ions tracks in CR-39 detectors registered by Cf-252 radioactive source have been observed by using photo-spectrometric techniques. CR39 detectors were exposed at 5 cm distance from radioactive source for registering nuclear tracks created by nuclear particles emitted from Cf-252 radioactive source. Cr-39 detectors were etched in 6N NaOH solution at 70 C for 400 m...
متن کاملComparison of one- and two-filter detectors for atmospheric 222Rn measurements under various meteorological conditions
Parallel monitoring of 222Rn and its short-lived progeny (218Po and 214Pb) were carried out from November 2007 to April 2008 close to the top of the Schauinsland mountain, partly covered with forest, in South-West Germany. Samples were aspired from the same location at 2.5 m above ground level. We measured 222Rn with a dual flow loop, two-filter detector and its short-lived progeny with a one-f...
متن کاملResults of radon CR-39 detectors exposed in schools due two different long-term periods
Worldwide scientifi c studies have shown that indoor radon (Rn) is the main source of radiation exposure for the general population throughout the world [1]. Taking into account the health effects of Rn and its large-scale geographical and temporal variability, investigation of their concentrations in the living and working environments still affords scientifi c attention. Different methods to ...
