Measurements of radon concentration

Radiation Measurements, 1995
Abstract By means of the method of solid state track detection of electrically charged alpha particles the concentration of radon was measured in lead and zinc mine, “Stari Trg” in Kosovska Mitrovica as well as in appartments of Pristina and its neighborhood. The concentration of radon in Stari Trg pit ranged from 50 Bq/m3 to 1000 Bq/m3.

Mitigation of Indoor Radon in an Area with Unusually High Radon Concentrations

Health Physics, 1995
In an area of unusually high indoor radon concentrations of up to 270,000 Bq m-3, four houses were selected for mitigation of indoor radon. Methods used were basement sealing, soil depressurization, a mechanical intake and outlet ventilation system with heat exchanger in the basement, and a multilayer floor construction using a fan to suck radon from a

Indoor radon concentrations in Adana, Turkey

Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 2008
The indoor radon concentration in Adana, Turkey was measured in living rooms of 52 houses during winter 2005 and 57 houses during summer 2005. Forty-four houses were selected for both winter and summer researches for estimating seasonal variations. Indoor radon concentrations were measured seasonally over hotter and colder 2 months over the whole year,

The relation of seismic activity and radon concentration

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2014
Radon, which is the largest source of natural ionizing radiation, reaches to surface as gas or dissolved form in the ground water. Emanation of radon can has a profile is disposed to increasing or decreasing depending on the effects of meteorological events or crust movements. In this work, the radon concentration in soil gas, which is transported from

In-depth study of radon in water in a Greek village with enhanced radon concentrations

Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, 2023
This study focused on the radon transfer from the water to the air and the subsequent impact of waterborne radon indoors, taking advantage of the enhanced and decreasing from year to year radon-in-water concentrations observed in the Arnea village in Northern Greece.

Continuous radon concentration monitoring

Review of Scientific Instruments, 1978
The use of ionization chambers to continuously monitor the concentration of radon dissolved in ground water is described. In one case, air is bubbled through the water sample to strip the radon into the chamber. In a second operating mode, the sample water itself is flowed through the chamber.

RADON CONCENTRATIONS IN SOME DWELLINGS OF TUNISIA

Health Physics, 2004
Indoor air radon concentrations are still unknown in Tunisia. For the first time, they have been determined in several regions of the country using open alpha track dosimeters containing LR-115 film. Measurements were taken in 69 dwellings located around greater Tunis during 1 y, changing dosimeters every 2 mo.

Radon Concentrations in Five Pennsylvania Soils

Health Physics, 1989
The Rn concentration in the interstitial soil air depends on the Rn emanation from the soil, the water content of the soil, and the volume of the interstitial air space. The Rn emanation, which depends on the type of soil and the water content of the soil, can vary greatly from soil to soil. The interstitial air space depends on the soil compaction and

Radon concentrations in schools of the Neapolitan area

Radiation Measurements, 2009
A radon survey was carried out in 30 schools located in the metropolitan area around Naples, Italy. Radon concentration was measured using the SSNTD (Solid State Nuclear Track Detectors) method with LR115 detectors.

Applications of electret and radon-box in the estimation of radon concentration

Proceedings of the Sixteenth National Radio Science Conference. NRSC'99 (IEEE Cat. No.99EX249), 2003
This work describes a technique for accurate radon and thoron associated measurements in the environment, This technique is called electret technology. The theory of such technology is described in detail. Also, it describes the radon/thoron calibration facility designed and constructed for the first time through the radiation safety program of Atomic ...
