Abstract

Indoor radon and thoron survey has been carried out in 50 dwellings under Kohima district, Nagaland, India, using the latest measurement technology. The survey has been carried out for a one-year period in 3 different seasons, and the dwellings were selected according to the building materials used for construction. Indoor radon and thoron concentrations, as well as their progeny, followed a predictable pattern with greater levels in the winter and lower levels in the summer. Concrete housing had greater radon and thoron concentrations than bamboo and semi-wood/bamboo homes. The equilibrium factor (E.F.) and inhalation dose due to radon, thoron, and their corresponding progeny were also studied in the present study.

印度那加兰邦科希马地区室内氡、钍及其子代水平季节性和年平均水平的个案研究。

利用最新的测量技术，在印度那加兰邦Kohima地区的50所住宅中进行了室内氡和钍调查。该调查在三个不同的季节进行了为期一年的调查，并根据建筑材料选择了住宅。室内氡和钍的浓度及其后代，遵循一种可预测的模式，冬季水平较高，夏季水平较低。混凝土房屋的氡和钍浓度高于竹制和半木质/竹制房屋。研究了氡、钍及其子代的平衡因子(E.F.)和吸入剂量。

期刊介绍： Isotopes in Environmental and Health Studies provides a unique platform for stable isotope studies in geological and life sciences, with emphasis on ecology. The international journal publishes original research papers, review articles, short communications, and book reviews relating to the following topics: -variations in natural isotope abundance (isotope ecology, isotope biochemistry, isotope hydrology, isotope geology) -stable isotope tracer techniques to follow the fate of certain substances in soil, water, plants, animals and in the human body -isotope effects and tracer theory linked with mathematical modelling -isotope measurement methods and equipment with respect to environmental and health research -diagnostic stable isotope application in medicine and in health studies -environmental sources of ionizing radiation and its effects on all living matter
