Abstract Radon, the heaviest among noble gases in periodic table of element is a radioactive nuclide that naturally available rocks, soil and water. It has become subject many research efforts recent years due to its leading role causing cancer. In this study, total 68 groundwater samples were collected assayed using alpha spectrometry with RAD7 radon detector RAD-H 2 O accessories manufactured...

the geothermal phenomena in the area nearby the euganean hills (near padua, in italy) areknown and exploited for therapeutic purposes since ancient times, and recently also for aesthetic purposes.this paper presents the first characterization of the radionuclides content in the euganean thermal waters and mud, extended to a great number of spas. in particular the radionuclides content of both t...

background: decay products of radon and thoron present in indoor environment are the most important sources of radiation from natural sources which affect human beings, since general public spend at lest 80% of their time in indoor. materials and methods: air samples were collected for measuring the concentration of radon and thoron daughter products from various indoor environments during four...

nEXO is a proposed tonne-scale neutrinoless double beta decay (0νββ) experiment using liquid 136Xe (LXe) in Time Projection Chamber (TPC) to read out ionization and scintillation signals. Between the field cage LXe vessel, layer of (“skin” LXe) present, where no signal collected. Only photons are detected, owing lack optical barrier around cage. In this work, we show that light originating skin...

Bài báo nghiên cứu đặc điểm biến động suất liều bức xạ gamma và nồng độ khí phóng radon (222Rn; 220Rn) theo thời gian tại trạm quan trắc môi trường mỏ đất hiếm Mường Hum. Sử dụng phương pháp thống kê để xử lý số liệu gamma, trắc. Kết quả của giúp điều chỉnh sự thiên ngày đêm giá trị trung bình hàng năm khi tính toán hiệu năm. khảo sát 2021 Hum với Radon, Thoron lần lượt là 1,65 1,97.

Electric conductivity of air is an important characteristic of the electric properties of an atmosphere. Testing instruments to measure electric conductivity ranging from ~10 to 10Sm in natural conditions found in the Earth atmosphere is not an easy task. One possibility is to use stratospheric balloon flights; another (and a simpler one) is to look for terrestrial environments with significant...

Introduction: This study was conducted to measure the gamma emitters (e.g., uranium-238 [238U], thorium-232 [232Th], and potassium-40[40K]) and alpha emitters (e.g., radon-222 [222Rn] and radium), and also to evaluate the radiation hazard indices of radionuclides in parenteral nutrition samples utilized in the hospitals of Iraq. Material and Methods: The measurements were accomplished using ga...
