| Popis: | Radiation exposure, an inescapable share of our everyday life, primarily arises from terrestrial or cosmic sources. A small fragment of the total dose is also contributed by our own bodies. Humans receive an average radiation of 2.4 mSv y−1 as natural background radiation. In the present study, an attempt to quantify groundwater radon-222 and indoor radon, thoron and their progeny was made using both active as well as passive techniques. Solid state nuclear track detectors (LR-115 type-II films) were employed for long-term passive measurements while as scintillation based radon monitor was used for active short-term measurements. |
