Exposures from radon, thoron, and thoron progeny in high background radiation area in Takandeang, Mamuju, Indonesia [PDF]
Nukleonika, 2020 The exposure from radon, thoron, and thoron progeny was measured for 45 dwellings in high background radiation area in Takandeang, Indonesia with ambient dose equivalent rate ranging from 0.34 μSv h−1 to 1.90 μSv h−1.

RADON AND THORON PROGENY IN DUTCH DWELLINGS
Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 2018 Radon and thoron progenies in Dutch dwellings cause ~400 cases of lung cancer per year. Some 30% of the risk is due to thoron progeny, which demonstrates that the influence of thoron progeny is much larger than previously anticipated. This was concluded from a national survey in 2500 Dutch dwellings, built since 1930.

Thoron Interference on Performance of Continuous Radon Monitors: An Experimental Study on Four Devices and a Proposal of an Indirect Method to Estimate Thoron Concentration. [PDF]
Int J Environ Res Public Health, 2022 The performance of continuous radon monitors (CRMs) is usually evaluated under controlled conditions in a radon chamber during calibrations or intercomparison exercises. The impact of thoron on CRMs response is rarely evaluated; in case the evaluation is

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 Thoron (220Rn), an isotope of radon with a strong α-decay energy, and its short-lived metallic progeny can pose an elevated lung cancer hazard in room air when unfired-soil derived building materials are used in earthen dwellings.

Thoron problem and proposal of method for direct determination of the thoron progeny concentrations [PDF]
, 2019 Nedavne studije koje se bave problemom torona pokazuju da toron u vazduhu zatvorenih prostorija dominantno potiče od upotrebljenih građevinskih materijala za izradu i pokrivanje zidova i podova i da koncentracija torona eksponencijalno opada ...

Nuclear Engineering and Technology, 2022 Due to its short half-life, thoron gas has been assumed to have negligible health hazards on humans compared to radon. But, one of the decay products with a long half-life can make it to be transported to a long distance and to cause a severe internal ...

Nukleonika, 2016 The health risk from thoron (Rn-220) is usually ignored owing to its short half-life (55.6 s), but the generated thoron decay products can cause a significant dose contribution.

Dose assessment for radon and thoron concentrations in iraqi thermostone bricks [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 This research aims to measure radon (222Rn) and thoron (220Rn) concentrations for selected thermostone bricks samples produced in Iraq. 222Rn and 220Rn concentrations were measured using the active method (RAD7 detector).
