Radon is the most important source of natural radiation to human beings and second major causative agent lung cancer other than smoking. In recent years, hazards exposure thoron (Rn-220), another isotope radon, its progeny have gained consensus. To accurately evaluate dose level Rn-220 progeny, a standard chamber with strong regulation ability for needs be established scale or calibration measu...
background: the potential hazards of exposure to radiation from radon have been of great concern worldwide, as it is associated with an increased risk of lung cancer. radon (222rn) and its progeny are the main sources of radioactivity in the environment. the half-life of 222rn (3.82 days) is long enough for it to diffuse into and build up in homes. 220rn or thoron from the 232th series, and 219...
Radon is a noble gas formed from the natural radioactive decay of uranium (U) and thorium (Th), natural components of the earth’s crust, which decay to radium (Ra) and then to radon (Rn). Decay chains include Ra and Rn for U; Ra and Rn for U; and Ra and Rn for Th. As radium decays, radon is formed and released into pores in the soil. Fissures and pores in the substrate allow the radon to migrat...
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 ...
Radon, a progeny of 238U is formed from the radioactive decay of radium. One of the main sources of radon is the emanation from ground water. Radon gas dissolves in groundwater when it moves from the bed of volcanic rocks which contain radioactive elements such as uranium and thorium and then diffuse into spaces. In closed places, the accumulated radon that decays to radioactive particles can c...
The annual exposure to indoor radon, thoron and their progeny imparts a major contribution to inhalation doses received by the public. In this study, we report results of time integrated passive measurements of indoor radon, thoron and their progeny concentrations that were carried out in Garhwal Himalaya with the aim of investigating significant health risk to the dwellers in the region. The m...
BACKGROUND Alpha particle irradiation from radon progeny is one of the major natural sources of effective dose in the public population. Oncogenic transformation is a biological effectiveness of radon progeny alpha particle hits. The biological effects which has caused by exposure to radon, were the main result of a complex series of physical, chemical, biological and physiological interactions...
Radon gases released from the ground surface and building materials are the major sources of ionization in the indoor atmosphere. Radon will undergo radioactive decay in the atmosphere by emitting an alpha particle. The alpha and beta particles, and the gama rays from Rn, Rn and their decay products give up their energy by ionizing the molecules and aerosol particles in the atmosphere. Radon an...
