Outdoor radon concentration in China
The annual effective dose to Chinese population from natural radiation exposure is about 3.1 mSv/y, of which 1.56 mSv/y or 50% is due to the exposure from radon and its daughters [1]. The enhanced natural radiation level results mainly from indoor radon concentrations rising by 70%, compared to the previous data in 1990s [1, 2]. Based on the research, the increase in indoor radon concentrations...
متن کاملDiversity and characterization of sulfate-reducing bacteria in groundwater at a uranium mill tailings site.
Microbially mediated reduction and immobilization of U(VI) to U(IV) plays a role in both natural attenuation and accelerated bioremediation of uranium-contaminated sites. To realize bioremediation potential and accurately predict natural attenuation, it is important to first understand the microbial diversity of such sites. In this paper, the distribution of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) in c...
متن کاملMeasurement of Radon Concentration of Air Samples and Estimating Radiation Dose from Radon in SARI Province
Exposure to radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking. Radon is an odorless, tasteless and invisible gas produced by the decay of naturally occurring uranium in soil and water. The amount of radon in the air is measured in "picocuries per liter of air," or "pCi/L." There are many kinds of low-cost "do-it-yourself" radon test kits you can get through the mail and in some har...
متن کاملNanoaerosols Including Radon Decay Products in Outdoor and Indoor Air at a Suburban Site
Nanoaerosols have been monitored inside a kitchen and in the courtyard of a suburban farmhouse. Total number concentration and number size distribution (5-1000 nm) of general aerosol particles, as measured with a Grimm Aerosol SMPS+C 5.400 instrument outdoors, were mainly influenced by solar radiation and use of farming equipment, while, indoors, they were drastically changed by human activity ...
متن کاملInhalation dose due to radon and its progeny at Pune
The radon and its progeny concentrations are measured near the surface of the earth at the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, Pune, India. In-situ measurements of the meteorological parameters such as temperature and relative humidity are also made simultaneously. The concentrations show maxima in the early morning hours when the turbulence mixing is the minimum; whereas in the afternoon...
