There is radon present in every state except Hawaii and Louisiana. In the past, most available methods for detecting radon would require up to 7 days to accurately measure the concentration below the EPA's recommended mitigation level (4 pCi/L). US Nuclear Corp's sensitive radon mitigation system actively ...
In the present work, radon concentration was measured for different types of bottled drinking water and carbonated drink samples that are available in Iraqi markets. Radon measurements were carried out using a RAD-7 electronic radon detector. Annual effective dose was also calculated. The measured radon concentration in samples of bottled drinking water ranged from 0.0354 to 0.248 Bq/l with a ...
January is National Radon Action Month and the EPA and the U.S. Surgeon General are urging all Americans to take action and protect their health by testing their homes, businesses, schools and other buildings for radon. Radon is impossible to detect by humans as you can’t see, smell or taste it but it is the leading cause of lung cancer deaths among nonsmokers in America claiming the lives ...
The study of the radiation hazards from building materials is of interest in most countries. The measurements of natural radioactivity were verified for some Egyptian building materials to assess any possible radiological hazard due to their use. The measurements were performed by gamma-ray spectroscopy using a Hyper-Pure Germanium (HPGe) detector. A CR-39 track detector was used to measure the ...
