Simultaneous measurements of indoor radon, radon-thoron progeny and high-resolution gamma spectrometry in Greek dwellings.
Simultaneous indoor radon, radon-thoron progeny and high-resolution in situ gamma spectrometry measurements, with portable high-purity Ge detector were performed in 26 dwellings of Thessaloniki, the second largest town of Greece, during March 2003-January 2005. The radon gas was measured with an AlphaGUARD ionisation chamber (in each of the 26 dwellings) every 10 min, for a time period between ...
متن کاملIndoor radon measurements in residential dwellings in Qom, Iran
Background: Inhalation of radon and its short-lived decay products is one of the ‎most significant sources of exposure to natural radiation. Radon is the second cause ‎of lung cancer in the populations. The present study was carried out under the projects of ‎national radon, with the aim of determining the concentration of indoor in the city of Qom ‎located in the central se...
متن کاملRadon and Thoron Progeny Measurements in Dwellings of Northern Greece
Radon progeny concentration is measured with a total alpha counting system in 185 dwellings in the town of Thessaloniki. The Equilibrium Equivalent radon Concentration (EEC Rn) follows a lognormal distribution with an arithmetic and geometric mean value of 28 Bq/m and 16 Bq/m respectively. Simultaneous in situ alpha and gamma spectroscopy measurements were performed in 60 schools of Thessalonik...
متن کاملMeasurements of indoor radon, thoron and their progeny in Farrukhabad city of Uttar Pradesh, India
Background: More than 50% of the total dose received by human beings from all sources of radiation (both from natural and manmade) comes from radon and its progeny which is responsible for lung cancer in many cases. Materials and Methods: In the present study, the measurements have been carried out by using twin chamber dosimeter cups with LR-115 type-II detectors. The value of track ...
