Soil Gas Radon Concentration in a Residential Area of Surrey (BC) Canada using LR-115 type II Plastic Detector
Abstract: Soil gas radon concentration measurement studies have been carried out globally to determine the health hazard effects of radon due to its seepage in indoor air of dwellings. It is a useful parameter for geochemical exploration of Uranium and earthquake precursory studies. Most of the countries, including Canada, have designed building codes to reduce the radon entry indoors. The purpose of this study is to determine radon concentration in a …

Measurement of Indoor Radon Concentration in a Residential House of Surrey (BC) Canada using LR-115 type II Plastic Detector
Abstract: Indoor radon concentration activity measurement has been considered as a useful parameter in evaluation of health hazards due to radon. The major health hazard is lung cancer attributable to radon in Canada which causes 16% of total lung cancer deaths. The purpose of this study is to determine indoor radon concentration (Bq/m3) and effective annual dose (mSv/yr) in a residential building. Plastic detector LR-115 Type II has been used for …

Radon Monitoring in Underground Water of Punjab State and Thermal Springs of Himachal Pradesh
Abstract: The source of Radon gas is generally within the rock strata in the form of an intermediate decay product of the U/Th radioactive series. It migrates from the earth’s crust to atmosphere by diffusion in the aqueous media. Radon monitoring is carried out to study health hazard effects. Scintillometry technique was used for measurement of Radon concentration in groundwater of Gurdaspur district and Parbati valley of HP. Radon concentration values …

Radon Estimation in Water of Surrey Region of British Columbia, Canada using LR-115 Type II Nuclear Track Detector
Abstract: Radon activity concentrations were measured in the ocean, swamp and well water samples collected from Surrey region of British Columbia in Canada. The purpose of this study was to compare radon activity in all three sources of water. Water was collected in air tight bottles and stored for 2 weeks before investigation. LR-115 Type II nuclear track detectors of 1.5 cm 2 were used for recording radon alpha tracks. Tracks …

Radon Estimation in Some Lakes and Fraser River Water of British Columbia, Canada using LR-115 Type II Alpha Track Detector
Abstract: Radon activity levels were measured in the five Lakes and Fraser River water samples collected from different locations of British Columbia in Canada. The purpose of this study was to compare Radon activity levels in all six sources of water. Water was collected in air tight bottles and stored for two weeks before investigation. LR-115 Type II nuclear track detectors of 1.2 cm2 were used for recording radon alpha tracks. …

Radon Flux and Radium Content Determination in Cereals Products
Abstract: AbstractRadon (222Rn) in air is ubiquitous. Radon is a form of ionizing radiation and lung cancer is the only known effect on human exposure to radon in air. The radon gas can enter into the human body through respiring, drinking and eating and caused damage to respiratory and digestion system. Cereals products available in market were experimented by “Sealed Can Technique” using LR-II solid state nuclear track detectors which are …
