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).

220Rn (Thoron) Geohazard in Room Air of Earthen Dwellings in Vietnam
Geofluids, 2019 Thoron’s (220Rn) contribution to α-radiation exposure is usually considered negligible compared to that of 222Rn (radon). Despite its short half-life of 55.6 seconds, thoron can be exhaled from porous surface layers of building materials into indoor air ...

INDOOR RADON, THORON AND THEIR PROGENY CONCENTRATIONS IN HIGH THORON RURAL SERBIA ENVIRONMENTS [PDF]
Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 2017 This article deals with the variation of radon (Rn), thoron (Tn) and their progeny concentrations expressed in terms of equilibrium equivalent concentrations (EERC and EETC), in 40 houses, in four villages of Sokobanja municipality, Southern Serbia. Two types of passive detectors were used: (1) discriminative radon-thoron detector for simultaneous Rn ...

Thoron in the environment and its related issues [PDF]
, 2009 Since radon is internationally noted as the second cause of lung cancer, many countries are trying about to solve the problem worldwide. In addition, a new evidence of lung cancer risk has been recently found out with a low level below 200 Bq m–3.

Study on atmospheric radioactivity in Suceava Metropolitan Area
Georeview, 2023 Ionising radiation from different environments (sun, celestial bodies, soil and geological substrate, etc.) influences the whole living world as a hidden factor. About 87% of the radiation dose received by humans is due to natural radiation.
