Preliminary results from an indoor Radon, Thoron and their progeny survey in Amroha: A district of Uttar Pradesh, India
The study on the measurement of 222Rn, 220Rn and their progeny concentration level is very important as they are one of the most impactful contributors to natural background radiation. This paper presents preliminary results of measurements which took place in 51 houses across 12 locations situated in Amroha district of Uttar Pradesh, India. Single entry-based twin-chamber pinhole dosimeters, direct radon progeny sensors (DRPS) and direct thoron progeny sensors (DTPS) equipped with LR-115 red cellulose nitrate films (SSNTDs). All the locations and houses are randomly selected for measurement of the concentrations of 222Rn, 220Rn and their decay products, which are critical contributors to radiation exposure. The average Radon (222Rn) concentrations varied between 7.58 Bq/m3 and 52.11 Bq/m3, while the average Thoron (220Rn) concentrations ranged from 4.05 Bq/m3 to 21.18 Bq/m3. Also, Equilibrium Equivalent Radon Concentration (EERC) ranged from 1.56 to 10.52 Bq/m3 with mean 3.85 Bq/m3 and Equilibrium Equivalent Thoron Concentration (EETC) levels varied from 0.15 to 1.31 Bq/m3. with mean 0.54 Bq/m3.
期刊介绍:
Applied Radiation and Isotopes provides a high quality medium for the publication of substantial, original and scientific and technological papers on the development and peaceful application of nuclear, radiation and radionuclide techniques in chemistry, physics, biochemistry, biology, medicine, security, engineering and in the earth, planetary and environmental sciences, all including dosimetry. Nuclear techniques are defined in the broadest sense and both experimental and theoretical papers are welcome. They include the development and use of α- and β-particles, X-rays and γ-rays, neutrons and other nuclear particles and radiations from all sources, including radionuclides, synchrotron sources, cyclotrons and reactors and from the natural environment.
The journal aims to publish papers with significance to an international audience, containing substantial novelty and scientific impact. The Editors reserve the rights to reject, with or without external review, papers that do not meet these criteria.
Papers dealing with radiation processing, i.e., where radiation is used to bring about a biological, chemical or physical change in a material, should be directed to our sister journal Radiation Physics and Chemistry.
