Radon exhalation from building materials for decorative use.
Long-term exposure to radon increases the risk of developing lung cancer. There is considerable public concern about radon exhalation from building materials and the contribution to indoor radon levels. To address this concern, radon exhalation rates were determined for 53 different samples of drywall, tile and granite available on the Canadian market for interior home decoration. The radon exh...
متن کاملRadon permeability and radon exhalation of building materials.
High radon concentrations indoors usually depend on the possibilities of radon penetration from the surrounding soil into the buildings. Radon concentrations in dwellings up to 100 kBq/m3 were found in some special regions (i.e. Schneeberg/Saxony, Umhausen/Tyrol), where the soil shows a high uranium content and additionally, a fast radon transport in the soil is possible. To reduce the radon ex...
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 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 کاملThe Influence of Meteorological and Soil Parameters on Radon Exhalation
To clarify the mechanism of radon transport from soil to surface, long term continuous measurements of radon exhalation were conducted at one site in combination with measurements of radon concentration in soil gas, soil temperature, pressure difference, soil moisture and meteorological parameters. Based on the results of measurements over a two year period, the influence of meteorological and ...
