The distributions of 210Pb and 210Po, short half-life products of 238U decay, in geological
and related anthropogenic materials are reviewed, with emphasis on their geochemical …

This study concerns measurements of radon and thoron emissions from soil carried out in
2004 on the eastern flank of Mt. Etna, in a zone characterized by the presence of numerous …

This study focused on the relationship between soil 222 Rn and 220 Rn concentrations and
meteorological parameters (temperature, pressure, humidity, and terrestrial gamma …

In order to understand the level and distribution of 220Rn concentrations in soil-gas in the
high-radiation-background area, an 220Rn survey was carried out for the first time using a …

One of the important factors controlling the distribution of radiation dose to the different
portions of the human respiratory tract is the deposition pattern of radon progeny containing …

Radon anomalies are widely reported in the vicinity of active faults, where they are often
inferred to result from upward migration of fluids along fault zones. We examine the up-fault …

The article presents new Polish probes SRDN-3, developed at the Institute of Nuclear
Chemistry and Technology in Warsaw, equipped with a semi-conductor detector used for …

Radon (222Rn) and thoron (220Rn) from soil gas are very significant factors that can affect
the indoor radon level in the first floor or in the basement. China is one of the countries with …

In Poland there are some special regions in which the natural background radiation is
obviously higher than in neighboring areas. This paper presents a review of recent radiation …

Abstract The outdoor 222 Rn and 220 Rn concentrations at 320 sampling points at 1 m
above the ground in different sites surrounding rare earth element (REE) and uranium mines …
