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...
Indoor radon and thoron have been measured in the houses ofMoradabad District, Uttar Pradesh India, by means of solid state nuclear trackdetectors. Radon, an invisible radioactive gas, occurs naturally in indooratmospheres and along with thoron is the most important contribution of humanexposure to natural sources. Radon exists in soil gas building materials and indooratmosphere to name but a f...
The building code for radon prevention and the associated practical guidelines were revised in Finland in 2003-2004. Thereafter, preventive measures have become more common and effective and indoor radon concentrations have been markedly reduced. In this study, the indoor radon concentration was measured in 1500 new low-rise residential houses. The houses were randomly selected and represented ...
The paper is aimed at different measuring techniques and methods practically used for a classification of buildings in the context of radiation protection requirements. Specific experimental and theoretical diagnostic procedures designed for identification and quantification of indoor radon entry characteristics are proposed and discussed in detail (continuous simultaneous radon concentration m...
Background: Many public health agencies rank residential radon exposure as the second leading cause of lung cancer after cigarette smoking. It has been shown that the risk coefficient for lung cancer is higher for children than that for adults. Therefore, indoor radon measurements were carried out in the elementary schools of Tulkarem province, West Bank, Palestine. Materials and Methods: Two h...
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.

Air-ions and radon are two atmospheric trace constituents which have two opposite effects on human health: the ions are beneficial, and radon gas is potentially lethal as it increases the risk of lung cancer. In the lower troposphere, radon is the most important generator of the air-ions. Ionization by cosmic rays and radioactive minerals is almost constant in daily cycles, and variation of air...
background: radon concentration was measured in 50 drinking water samples in mashhad - iran. b the tap water used for drinking and other household usages can increase the indoor radon level. drinking water samples were collected from various places and supplies of public water used in mashhad. then radon concentration has been measured by portable radon gas surveyor silena (prassi) system. resu...
Radon (Rn) is a naturally occurring radioactive element, a noble gas that is produced in radium disintegration. Radon has the biggest contribution to the effective dose obtained by population. Increased morbidity of lung cancer in uranium miners and an observation that radon exposure in certain houses may be comparable to the exposure in uranium mines have caused the increase of interest in rad...
Results: Exposure to indoor radon and its decay products is a major contributor to the radiation exposure of the general population. In Germany, the mean radiation exposure due to radon in living rooms and bedrooms is about 49 Bq/m. It is well documented in the scientific liter ature that indoor radon significantly increases the risk of lung cancer, probably in a linear dose-response relationsh...
