Abstract

Correlation between soil characteristics and field radon measurements was studied at 20 sites in Kuwait. Soil samples were collected from the same sites and analyzed for grain size. Results show that the outdoor radon concentrations had a mean value of 8.9 Bq m⁻³. The radon exhalation rates ranged from 2.8 to 18.2 mBq m⁻² s⁻¹ with a mean of 9.7 mBq m⁻² s⁻¹. Radon exhalation rates were higher for dry, friable, gravelly sand soil when compared to those recorded in the wet and compacted muddy sand soil. A poor correlation was observed between the radon exhalation rates and soil gas radon concentrations.

科威特土壤参数、土壤气体氡及其呼出率之间的关系

在科威特的20个地点研究了土壤特征与现场氡测量之间的相关性。从同一地点收集土壤样本并分析颗粒大小。结果表明，室外氡浓度平均值为8.9 Bq m−3。氡的释放速率为2.8 ~ 18.2 mBq m−2 s−1，平均值为9.7 mBq m−2 s−1。氡的呼出率在干燥、易碎、含砾的砂土中比在潮湿和压实的泥质砂土中记录的要高。氡呼出率与土壤气体氡浓度之间的相关性较差。
