Radon concentration in two largest cities in semitropical Taiwan.
Grab sampling either using the active charcoal method in combination with an ionization chamber or using a working level monitor was performed for the measurement of radon concentration in Taiwan's two largest cities Taipei and Kaohsiung. Long-term monitoring of radon concentration in dwellings and business buildings was also carried out with cellulose nitrate films as the alpha detectors. The ...
متن کاملAssessment of radon gas using passive dosimeter in Amman and Al-Rusaifa cities, Jordan
Background: Radon concentration was measured in the soil and indoor of Amman and Al- Rusaifa cities in Jordan during summer season. Materials and Methods: The measurement was performed using time-integrated passive radon dosimeters, containing a solid state nuclear track plastic detector, commercially known as CR-39. Results: Radon concentration levels in the soil ranged from 2.8 ± 1...
متن کاملDose assessment and measurement of radon concentration in water supplies of Borujerd County in Iran
Background: Radon as a potential risk of radiation exposure is a natural radioactive element that can emit from rocks and soils. Due to solubility in water, it can be inhaled or consumed by the public. The purpose of this study was carrying out measurement and evaluation of radon concentration in samples of drinking water which are collected from water supplies of Borujerd. Materials and Method...
متن کاملNanomaterial Containing Wall Paints Can Increase Radon Concentration in Houses Located in Radon Prone Areas
Background: Nowadays, extensive technological advancements have made it possible to use nanopaints which show exciting properties. In IR Iran excessive radon levels (up to 3700 Bq m–3) have been reported in homes located in radon prone areas. Over the past decades, concerns have been raised about the risk posed by resi- dential radon exposure.Objective: This study aims at investigating the ef...
متن کاملOutdoor 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...
