Radon and thoron exhalation rate in the soil of Western Haryana, India

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2022
Abstract This study, reports the exhalation rates of radon and thoron from surface soil collected from 60 rural sites of district Hisar, Haryana, India. The exhalation rates of Rn222 (Radon)& Rn220(Thoron) were measured by portable SMART RnDuo (AQTEK SYSTEMS) using a mass accumulation chamber which is equipped with a scintillation material ...

222Rn and 220Rn Levels in Drinking Water, the Related Health Implications, and Influencing Environmental Parameters in the Volcanic Area of Nkongsamba, Cameroon

Applied and Environmental Soil Science, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Radon (222Rn) and thoron (220Rn), both naturally occurring radioactive gases, are significant contributors to radiation exposure, posing risks such as lung and stomach cancer. This study assesses radon and thoron concentrations in drinking water sources within the volcanic region of Nkongsamba, Cameroon.

Measurement of Radon Concentration Using SSNTD in Bartella Region

Al-Mustansiriyah Journal of Science, 2019
The alpha-radioactive inert gas Radon exhalation is associated with presence of Radium and its ultimate precursor uranium in the earth crust. Uranium decay deposits radon in soil, which is harmful on human and environment.

Low‐Carbon Concrete Systems: A Comparative Review of Binder Technologies and Alternative Materials

Journal of Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
About 8% of the world′s carbon dioxide emissions come from the production of concrete, mostly from the clinker used to make regular Portland cement. By comparing supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), alkali‐activated materials (AAMs), alternative aggregates, and waste‐derived elements using a shared carbon‐performance paradigm, this review ...
