Correcting for H2O interference using a RAD7 electrostatic collection-based silicon detector

Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, 2016
The effect of water molecules on the electrostatic collection of 218Po ions onto the surface of silicon detectors (neutralization) is evaluated through the comparison with a scintillation cell (ZnS), not affected by air humidity. A radon monitor (RAD7, Durridge Company) was connected to a stainless steel radon chamber, equipped with the scintillation ...

Determine the Contaminations of Radon in the Drinking Water Using NTDs (CR-39) and RAD7 Detectors

Arabian Journal for Science and Engineering, 2021
This presented study was performed to determine the contaminations of radon in twenty-five drinking tap water samples in Penang/Malaysia. The concentration of 222Rn, specific activity of 226Ra, radon emanation factor, equilibrium radon concentration, annual effective dose and mass exhalation rate were measured in drinking water samples available under ...

Determination of 222RN level in groundwater using a Rad7 detector in the Bathinda district of Punjab, India

Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 2013
Radon gas is a significant health threat linked to thousands of preventable deaths each year. In this paper, radon activity concentration is measured in 260 groundwater samples collected from 65 villages in the Bathinda district of Punjab State, India, using Rad7, an electronic radon detector (Durridge Co., USA). The radon concentration varies from 0.9

Measurements of radon flux and soil-gas radon concentration along the Main Central Thrust, Garhwal Himalaya, using SRM and RAD7 detectors

Acta Geophysica, 2013
Radon in the Earth’s crust or soil matrix is free to move only if its atoms find their way into pores or capillaries of the matrix. 222Rn atoms from solid mineral grains get into air, filling pores through emanation process. Then 222Rn enters into the atmosphere from air-filled pores by exhalation process. The estimation of radon flux from soil surface

222Radon (222Rn) levels of Thermal Waters in the geothermally active Campi Flegrei volcanic caldera (Southern Italy) using a RAD7 radon detector

2022
<p>Radon is an inert radioactive and radiogenic gas whose exposure is considered harmful for human health. Radon migrates in the hydrogeological systems and discharge into air when water is exposed to the atmosphere. In hydrothermal and geothermal settings of quiescent volcanoes, the surveillance of dissolved <sup>222<

Radioactivity and volcanic areas: radon concentrations in waters from the unresting Campi Flegrei caldera and other volcanoes in Southern Italy using a RAD7 radon detector

2023
This study, conducted in the frame of the Pianeta Dinamico project funded by Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia, aims to improve the knowledge of radon concentration dissolved in several different waters from some of the Italian volcanic areas and its relationships with lithological and structural settings, fluid chemistry and circulation ...

Radon monitoring in groundwater samples from some areas of northern Rajasthan, India, using a RAD7 detector

Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 2012
Radon monitoring has been increasingly conducted worldwide because of the hazardous effects of radon on the health of human beings. In the present research, groundwater samples were taken from hand pumps at different areas of the districts of SriGanganagar, Hanumangarh, Sikar and Churu in northern Rajasthan. RAD7, an electronic radon detector (Durridge

Determination of 222Radon (222Rn) from the hot and acidic fumaroles gases to the atmosphere of the highly populated Campi Flegrei caldera (Naples, Southern Italy) by using a RAD7 detector: a procedure overcoming instrumental limits

Fumaroles spread out several elements to the atmosphere and may include radon that contributes to environmental radioactivity. The long-lasting vigorous gaseous emissions of the Campi Flegrei volcanic caldera, i.e., Solfatara and Pisciarelli, occur in densely inhabited areas of Naples where the population may be exposed to ionizing radiation from 222 ...
