Journal of Environmental and Public Health, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 Seasonal radon levels have been studied in dwellings and soils in selected areas in Ga East, Greater Accra Region of Ghana using LR‐115‐type II (SSNTDs). This study was conducted to determine the seasonal correlation between soil and dwelling radon concentrations.

Investigating Fracture Network Deformation Using Noble Gas Release
Geofluids, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021 We investigate deformation mechanics of fracture networks in unsaturated fractured rocks from subsurface conventional detonation using dynamic noble gas measurements and changes in air permeability. We dynamically measured the noble gas isotopic composition and helium exhalation of downhole gas before and after a large subsurface conventional ...

Tukey Control Chart for Radon Monitoring in Relation to the Seismic Activity
Mathematical Problems in Engineering, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021 Radon is one of the precursory phenomena that exist in connection to the occurrence of earthquakes and may have potential in forecasting these hazards. The data set in this study contains the observations of radon from August 01, 2014, to January 31, 2015, collected in Sobra city, northern Pakistan.

EXPERIMENTAL TECHNIQUE TO MEASURE THORON GENERATION RATE OF BUILDING MATERIAL SAMPLES USING RAD7 DETECTOR [PDF]
, 2013 Thoron (220Rn) is the second most abundant radon isotope in our living environment. In some dwellings it is present in significant amount which calls for its identification and remediation. Indoor thoron originates mainly from building materials. In this

Measurment of radon, thoron and their progeny in indoor environment of Mohali, Punjab, Northern India, using pinhole dosimeters [PDF]
Nuclear Technology and Radiation Protection, 2016 The health hazards of radon and its decay products above certain levels are well known. However, for any preventive measures to be taken, we have to be aware of radon levels of that particular area. Measurement of radon and its decay products in

Intercomparison on the measurement of the thoron exhalation rate from building materials.
, 2021 Thoron (220Rn) exhalation from building materials has become increasingly recognized as a potential source for radiation exposure in dwellings. However, contrary to radon (222Rn), limited information on thoron exposure is available.

New Applications in Gas Geochemistry
Geofluids, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020 Gases present in the Earth crust are important in various branches of human activities. Hydrocarbons are a significant energy resource, helium is applied in many high‐tech instruments, and studies of crustal gas dynamics provide insight in the geodynamic processes and help monitor seismic and volcanic hazards.
