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.

Indoor Air, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.This study investigated the effects of dwelling type, wall and floor coverings, radium‐226 concentration, soil moisture, and radon exhalation on indoor radon‐222 levels in the gold‐mining community of Akyempim, Ghana. Indoor radon was monitored using CR‐39 solid‐state nuclear track detectors deployed in 144 rooms across 21 sites for 90 days ...

The method for recalibration of thoron concentration reading of RAD7 and obtaining the thoron exhalation rate from soil surface [PDF]
Nuclear Technology and Radiation Protection, 2013 Thoron exhalation rate can be obtained through the combination of the “accumulation chamber” technique and RAD7. Thoron’s rapid decay causes the intake path and the air flow rate to become important factors in calibration.
