Indoor radon concentrations in kindergartens in three Bulgarian districts
This article examines the results of a study of radon concentrations in kindergartens in three districts of north-western Bulgaria. For the period from December 2019 to May 2020, passive radon measurements were accomplished in 1490 premises of 130 kindergartens. The highest arithmetic mean (AM) value of 219 Bq m-3 and geometric mean (GM) value of 156 Bq m-3 radon concentration were found in the state kindergartens of the Vratsa district. The radon values for the remaining two districts are as follows: Lovech-AM = 156 Bq m-3 and GM = 114 Bq m-3; Montana-AM = 125 Bq m-3 and GM = 88 Bq m-3. The effects of various factors on t...

Mapping in a radon-prone area in Adamawa region, Cameroon, by measurement of radon activity concentration in soil
Radiat Environ Biophys. 2023 Aug 3. doi: 10.1007/s00411-023-01042-3. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe radon-prone area of the Adamawa region in Cameroon is characterized by high natural radiation background resulting from the high concentrations of radium-226, thorium-232, and indoor radon. To produce a radon-risk map, radon measurements in soil were carried out in the city of Ngaoundere. The radon activity concentration in soil gas ranged from 256 to 166 kBq m-3 with a mean of 80 kBq m-3 and a standard deviation of 38 kBq m-3. The area is mostly classified as high risk (80%) according to the Swedish classification, and 2...
