Radon and Thoron Exhalation Rate Measurements in Soil Samples Collected from the Vicinity of a Thermal Power Plant
نویسندگان
چکیده
Radon mass and thoron surface exhalation rate of soil samples collected from the surrounding area Harduaganj thermal power plant (HTPP), Aligarh is measured using an active radon/thoron monitor (SMART RnDuo). The radon values range 27±1 to 100±3 mBq kg−1 h−1 with a mean value 63±17 h−1. vary 1.0 ± 0.2 10±1 kBq m−2h-1 5.7 2.2 m−2h-1. are found be higher than worldwide

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 کاملRadon exhalation rates from stone and soil samples of Aravali hills in India
Background: The most popular building materials are soil bricks and different types of stones. Radon is released into ambient air from soil and stones due to ubiquitous uranium and radium in them, thus increasing the airborne radon concentration. The radioactivity in soils is related to radioactivity in the rocks from which the soil is formed. In the present investigation, the radon em...
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...
متن کاملThe effective radium content and radon exhalation rate in hair dyes samples
Background: Hair dyes are the important materials widely used by various peoples in Iraq and other countries. The present work investigates the presence of the effective radium content and radon exhalation rate in hair dyes samples. Materials and Methods: Twenty hair dyes samples were collected from Iraqi markets. Sealed can technique using LR-115 type II plastic track detector s ha...
متن کاملMeasurement of radium concentration and radon exhalation rates of soil samples collected from some areas of Bulandshahr district, Uttar Pradesh, India using plastic track detectors
Background: Radon is an odourless, colourless and tasteless gas and it is the first cause of lung cancer among non- smokers. The assessment of the level of radium in building materials helps in understanding the radiological implications. It has been observed that everyone has some levels of exposure to them. Therefore measurement of radium and radon in the soil samples are important f...
