Applied and Environmental Soil Science, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.The natural radioactivity level has been determined in a pilot site located at Solhan, in the Sahel region of Burkina Faso by means of gamma‐ray spectrometry in soil samples collected at a depth of 40 cm. The activity concentrations are estimated for 238U (range from 181.89 ± 3.62 to 191.37 ± 3.71 Bq·kg−1), 232Th (range from 44.92 ± 2.96 to 48.40 ± 3 ...

Simultaneous Measurements of Radon and Thoron Exhalation Rates and Comparison with Values Calculated by UNSCEAR Equation [PDF]
Journal of Radiation Research, 2009 We simultaneously measured radon and thoron exhalation rates in areas of weathered acid rocks in Japan to investigate the relationship between them and between measured and calculated radon exhalation rates. To calculate the radon exhalation rate, we used an equation proposed by UNSCEAR.

In situ Measurements of Radon and Thoron Exhalation Rates and Their Geological Interpretation
Japanese Journal of Health Physics, 2004 Radon and thoron exhalation rates from the ground were measured at 23 sites in Tokyo and nine prefectures of Japan that were selected in consideration of geological features and soil distribution. The in situ measurements were carried out with a ZnS (Ag) scintillation detector equipped with a photomultiplier and a container measuring 30×40cm and 11cm ...

The Radon Exhalation Rate and Dose Assessment of Granite Used as a Building Material in Serbia
AtmosphereThe application of energy-saving policies in buildings could lead to a decrease in the air exchange rate in dwellings, which could consequently lead to an increase in indoor radon concentration and, therefore, to an increase in resident exposure to ...
