Outdoor radon and thoron in an area with naturally ventilating bedrock fractures

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Science
Open fractures lead to increased permeability of the bedrock, and, if connected to the surface, allow for groundwater flow and air ventilation. Radon and thoron received by groundwater and ventilating air from bedrock can then be released at the surface.

CvdN Equilibrium and Share Equilibrium in Local Public Good Economies

open access: yesJournal of Public Economic Theory, Volume 27, Issue 2, April 2025.
ABSTRACT CvdN equilibrium and share equilibrium are both extensions of the cost‐shares‐based ratio equilibrium for global public good economies to local public good economies. CvdN equilibrium and share equilibrium differ in terms of the stability requirements for equilibrium jurisdictions.

Study on influence of soil and atmospheric parameters on radon/thoron exhalation rate in the Bangalore University campus, Bengaluru

open access: yesRadiation Protection and Environment, 2018
In the present study, Radon (222Rn) and Thoron (220Rn) concentration have been measured in the Bangalore University Campus using RAD7 during the postmonsoon season. The results reveal that 222Rn concentration ranged from 360 ± 146 to 643 ± 196 Bq/m3 with

A Device for Measurement of Thoron in the Breath

open access: yesHealth Physics, 1963
A device was developed to measure thoron in the breath of human subjects. It depends upon the adsorption of thoron on a cooled, charcoal particle covered plate which is adjacent to a ZnS coated lucite disc seen by a 5-in.-dia. photomultiplier tube. In its present form it will measure thoron referred to the patient's mouth with a sensitivity of 0.7 ...

Comparative Assessment of Seasonal 222Rn Variations in Indoor and Underground Spaces With Emphasis on Correction Factors

open access: yesIndoor Air, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Exposure to radon‐222 (222Rn) and its decay products poses a significant public health risk. 222Rn tends to accumulate in poorly ventilated areas, underground spaces, and caves, which justifies the existence of international reference levels for its annual average indoor concentrations.

Studies on ambient gamma dose rate and enrichment of radon, thoron, and progeny concentration in various types of dwellings and outdoor environments of Kalliasseri, Kannur district, Kerala

open access: yesRadiation Protection and Environment, 2018
The major contribution of natural background radiation exposure comes from radon, thoron, and their progeny. The activity concentration of these radionuclides depends on various factors, and the concentration level varies from place to place.

Exploring Seasonal Variation of Indoor Radon in Campania: Preliminary Findings

open access: yesIndoor Air, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
This study focuses on the indoor radon gas monitoring in 30 residences in Campania to evaluate seasonal variability. Approximately 570 CR‐39 solid‐state detectors were employed. Measurements were taken monthly, quarterly, semiannually, and annually, starting in October 2022 and ending in September 2023.
