Doses from the exposure to outdoor radon are typically an order of magnitude smaller than
those from indoor radon, causing a greater interest on investigation of the latter for radiation …

As an inert radioactive gas, 222 Rn could be easily transported to the atmosphere via
emanation, migration, or exhalation. Research measurements pointed out that 222 Rn …

The radioactivity quantity and quality were determined in soil and water samples in Northern
Malaysian Peninsula (NMP) using HPGe spectroscopy and GR-135 spectrometer. The …

There is a well-known radon spa Niška Banja in south-east of Serbia. In Niška Banja spa
there is a medical complex and radon is used for therapeutic purposes for many different …

Human hair and nails can be considered as bio-indicators of the public exposure to certain
natural radionuclides and other toxic metals over a long period of months or even years. The …

In the era of the energy saving policy (ie more air tight doors and windows), the radon
exhaled from building materials tends to increase its concentration in indoor air, which …

This study examined correlations between radon, thoron and thoron progeny concentrations
based on surveys conducted in several different countries. For this purpose, passive …

The activity concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th and 40K were determined in 43 soil samples
collected from 0 to 10 cm and 10 to 50 cm depths of Niška Banja region, Serbia, using a low …

Water 226Ra concentration in springs was measured in regions with high indoor radon:
Ural, North Caucasus (Russia), Niska Banja (Serbia), Piestany (Slovakia), and Issyk-Kul …

Inhalation of radon (222 Rn) and its short-lived decay products and of products of the thoron
(220 Rn) series accounts for more than half of the effective dose from natural radiation …
