Use of LR-115 Detector to Measure Radon Concentrations in Milk and Tea Samples Collected From Misan Markets in Iraq
Introduction: Radioactive material is always present in the environment, and the largest contribution to the inhalation exposure comes from the short half-life decay products of radon. Accordingly, the concentrations of radon were measured in the milk and tea samples collected from Misanmarkets in Iraq. Material and Methods: A total of 2...
متن کاملEstimation of Radon Exhalation Rate and Radium Content in Soil Samples of Pathankot District, Punjab Using LR-115 Plastic Detector
In the present investigation, soil samples were collected from 10 villages belonging to Pathankot district, Punjab, India and assessed for radium content using LR-115 plastic detector. The ‘track etch’ technique has been employed for measuring the radium content. From the radium content, radon exhalation rates and mass exhalation rates were calculated for these samples. The mass exhalation rate...
متن کاملInvestigating 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 کاملMeasurement of Contemporary and Retrospective Radon Concentration in Ramsar Dwellings Using Polycarbonate Detector
The origins of radon gas are the amount of uranium decay in the soil that is released into space and through the interior gaps of buildings. Radon can enter the respiratory system and cause radiation hazards. Recently research has identified Radon as the second leading cause of lung cancer after cigarette smoking. The indoor concentration of Radon progeny is mentioned as an important issue reg...
متن کاملLong-term determination of airborne radon progeny concentrations using LR 115 solid-state nuclear track detectors
This paper described the establishment of lognormal distributions for the Jacobi room model parameters with a view to improve an existing method for long-term passive measurements of the equilibrium factor using LR 115 solid-state nuclear track detectors, namely, through the proxy equilibrium factor (Fp) method. Fp is defined as (C1 þ C3)/C0 where C0, C1 and C3 are the concentrations of 222Rn, ...
